Media Planning Guide OUR MISSION Libraries are integral to universities. More than information hubs and gathering spaces, libraries are alive with the people and ideas flowing through them. They connect researchers and students with each other and with the information they need. Libraries transform lives. Choice connects librarians, faculty, and students with resources that improve teaching and advance scholarship. When you advertise with Choice—a publishing unit of the Association of College and Research Libraries—you help libraries make those connections. Advertising with Choice connects you to more than 24,500 academic librarians, faculty, and key decision makers. Join us.
