Introduction-AASL Selection Committee
The challenge of the information age is to find accurate and authoritative information in all fields and content areas. Qualitative criteria ascend quantitative considerations for school library media specialists building collections that meet curriculum needs and the diverse learning abilities and styles of students.
University Press books provide an extraordinary source of books that reflect research, scholarship, thought, and creativity and not always available in trade books. A wide range of views and opinions on many topics are presented with substance and context that enable the reader to form independence judgments and differing perspectives on controversial and current issues.
The University Press Books Selected for Public and Secondary Libraries book has become a standard selection guide in school libraries because of the assessment of titles through a peer review process that assures quality and relevance for academic as well as general interest needs in today's schools. School library media specialists review and rate titles for inclusion, to assist in the selection and evaluation process. The committee is composed of practicing professionals selected by the American Association of School Libraries.
Titles deemed to be "Outstanding" publications also appear in a separate section of the catalog with an original annotation which recognizes the significant content, features, or uniqueness of the title. Other ratings enable users of the catalog to determine the readability level and use of the book in the school program.
This annual bibliography is an excellent resource to share with teachers, administrators and academic advisers to engage them in collection building and collaboration in planning for research based activities.

Introduction- PLA Selection Committee
University press materials are often overlooked by selectors in public and school libraries because there is an underlying assumption that materials associated with academic imprints will be far too specialized and outside the interests of school and public library users. The reality is that there is a wealth of interesting and accessible material published by university presses annually that can enrich and expand most collections.
A committee of your peers from the PLA and AASL volunteer their time to be on the University Press Books Committee, reviewing several hundred books each year, from AAUP member presses. The committee evaluates all books on standard criteria with an especially critical eye for their appeal and viability for school and public library users.
As this year's PLA chair I would like to thank all of the members of the committee for their hard work, commitment and endurance. Special thanks to Rachel Weiss, who year in and year out as the AAUP liaison to the committee, allows us to focus on reviewing books and meeting deadlines. Her assistance makes the committees work possible.
