Forthcoming Titles Lists
Forthcoming Performing Arts & Mass Media Titles, 2007-08. Choice, v.44, no. 11/12, July 2007.

Like other Choice “Forthcoming” features, this list of selected performing arts and mass media titles is designed to provide information about new and soon-to-be-released publications that may support academic curricula, particularly at the undergraduate level. The titles included here are scheduled for publication from late spring 2007 into 2008. Nearly 250 publications were selected based on their potential relevance for academic library collections.

The feature is organized in two major sections. The performing arts section has subheadings for dance, film, music (divided into several categories), theater (plus dramatic works), and reference works. The mass media section includes titles under animation, international, journalism, new media, television and radio, and reference.

Many publishers responded to our invitation to contribute information about their new and forthcoming titles. In addition, editors checked publisher catalogs and prepublication announcements for appropriate titles. The bibliographic information comes directly from the publishers; data include anticipated release date, price, and ISBN when these were known (estimates are followed by “e”). Like all lists of this type, release dates, prices, and even titles are subject to change. Please check with the publisher or your bookseller for the latest information.

Choice extends special thanks to the publishers who supplied and verified information about their titles for this feature. A list of publishers whose works are listed appears at the end of this feature, complete with addresses and URLs.
