Choice, a premier source for reviews of academic books, digital media, and Internet resources in higher education for over fifty years, will unveil a new cover and interior design, the first such change at the magazine in almost a decade, with the September 2016 issue. Choice is a publication of the Association of College & Research Libraries (ACRL), a division of the American Library Association.
Launched in 1964 out of office space at Wesleyan University’s Olin Library under the leadership of founding editor Richard K. Gardner, Choice magazine originated as ‘a monthly current book selection guide to aid colleges and junior colleges in strengthening their library collections with the best of academic materials.’ Since then, Choice has expanded coverage to accommodate new subjects and formats of interest to the academic community, most notably the proliferation of new digital and Internet resources. Choice's contributions to the academic library community have grown in recent years beyond reviews, with highlights such as bibliographic essays, the Outstanding Academic Titles list, forthcoming titles lists, and most recently, features devoted to community college libraries, including the editors' top 75 community college resources list.
The new cover design of Choice reflects an overall rebranding effort begun earlier this year, which includes a new logo and tagline for the Choice publishing unit.
