CHOICE’S“Opening Oay Collection” Now Reprinted as a Special Supplement

CHOICE’S “Opening Day Collection”—a list of 1,776 books the editors of CHOICE feel should be on the shelves of every academic library when it opens its doors—is now being reprinted as a Special Supplement. Developed with the help of William A. Pease and Richard J. Lietz of the University of North Carolina, the list was first published serially in 4 issues of CHOICE in late 1965. The enthusiasm and continuing demand which the list has since enjoyed prompts its reissue as a convenient separate supplement to CHOICE’S regular monthly issues.

The list is intended to be used as the essential starting point for a library’s further acquisition and specialization. It has been particularly valuable to libraries in new colleges and junior colleges. Typical of comments received from users was the appreciation expressed by a junior college librarian confronted with the need to create seven “instant libraries” for a new system. “Thanks to CHOICE, we will have books for several thousand students when we open next fall.”

The price of the “Opening Day Collection” Supplement is $5.00 per copy. Copies may be ordered directly from CHOICE by filling out and returning the coupon below. Checks should be made payable to the American Library Association.

CHOICE, a monthly publication of the Association of Colleges and Research Libraries, reviews and evaluates more than 5,000 new books of importance to academic libraries every year.
