    Choice Bibliographic Essays

    Essay Policy Statement
    Choice publishes bibliographic essays to meet the needs of undergraduates, faculty, and libraries serving these users. Essays may address a new curricular area, a topic that has assumed significantly increased interest, an interdisciplinary area, or important recent literature on a traditional subject. Essays cover core materials ranging from introductory to advanced undergraduate levels. Emphasis is on English-language books or electronic media including Internet resources.

    If you are interested in submitting a bibliographic essay proposal to Choice, please consult the Proposal Guidelines below.
