ABOUT CHOICE E-COLLECTION CHOICE E-Collection is a joint project of CHOICE, PublishersRow.com, and a growing number of University Presses and other publishers to help librarians in selecting appropriate titles for their college digital libraries. CHOICE, a publishing unit of the Association of College & Research Libraries (a division of the American Library Association) is the premier source for reviews of academic books used in higher education. More than 35,000 librarians, faculty, and key decision makers rely on Choice magazine and Choice Reviews Online for collection development and scholarly research. CHOICE reaches almost every undergraduate college and university library in the United States. Only one out of four titles sent to CHOICE for review is actually selected for review, i.e. out of more than 25,000 titles received, only about 7,000 reviewed. CHOICEs mission is to review books for college libraries. Among the many strengths of the current collection are film/media, womens studies, African American studies, performing arts, and literary criticism. PublishersRow.com is one of the oldest eBook promotion and sales platform powering books of several hundred publishers today. Publishers Row has created a prototype of PDF eBooks for Adobe Systems. CHOICE E-Collection is a boutique approach to building a great digital library. Starting initially small, it is highly valuable and growing every month with a projected increase of several thousand titles every year.
