(pdf version: http://highwire.stanford.edu/PR/CHOICEonHighWire.pdf)
HighWire Press and CHOICE, a publishing unit of the Association of College & Research
Libraries, are pleased to announce the launch of Choice Reviews Online: Version
3.0 on the HighWire Open Platform. The newest and most sophisticated version of
CHOICE's popular discovery and reference tool, CRO3 (www.cro3.org) includes a comprehensive
collection of reviews and other timely editorial content from the CHOICE editors.
Choice Reviews Online is the go-to resource for thousands of collection development
librarians who rely on CHOICE's experienced, expert reviewers when making buying
decisions from among the vast list of new scholarly works published each year.
Highly selective, CHOICE publishes concise, critical, and authoritative reviews
of more than 7,000 new titles a year, spanning the entire liberal arts and sciences
curriculum. CHOICE reviews are widely recognized by publishers, librarians, and
authors as a benchmark of quality.
"HighWire has proved to be an ideal partner for the latest version of Choice Reviews
Online," said Mark Cummings, CHOICE Editor and Publisher. "At CHOICE, our goal has
always been to provide the academic library community with the highest quality content.
Designed in response to the rapidly changing online environment, our users will
find CRO3 on HighWire to be a helpful, flexible, and powerful tool."
Choice Reviews Online 3.0 takes advantage of the flexibility, discovery and advanced
search options of HighWire's Open Platform to offer:
* Integrated search options, allowing users to discover content in both the reviews
and features sections;
* Rich linking capabilities, both to external book content, and to internal related
reviews, features and comments;
* "Browse the Book" links in the Publisher's Choice Online program, allowing readers
to view full book content;
* Full compliance with academic web standards such as COUNTER, OpenURL and DOI's;
* Expanded social media sharing options, and moderated user commenting.
"There is a natural synergy in the fit of this well-respected reference source being
hosted by HighWire," noted Tom Rump, HighWire's Managing Director. "Choice Reviews
Online, alongside our expanded eBooks offering, demonstrates the ongoing evolution
of the HighWire Open Platform in delivering the best quality content in multiple
display formats to support the scholarly community."
