Forty-Five Cambridge University Press Books Among Prestigious CHOICE List of Outstanding Academic Titles
Each January, CHOICE: Current Reviews for Academic Libraries, a publication of the ACRL, publishes a list of their chosen Outstanding Academic Titles from the previous year. A very select ten percent of approximately 7,000 eligible reviewed titles are awarded.
The criteria applied while awarding the Outstanding Academic Titles include: overall excellence in presentation and scholarship, importance relative to other literature in the field, distinction as a first treatment of a given subject in book or electronic form, originality or uniqueness of treatment, value to undergraduate students, and importance in building undergraduate library collections.
CHOICE magazine and CHOICE Reviews Online reaches nearly every undergraduate college and university library in the United States.
