This annual feature highlights recent and forthcoming publications about the Internet, ranging from introductory guides to more specialized Web design manuals, works dealing with cyber security and crime, social influences and policy issues, and books related to incorporating the Internet into business and educational activities.  As with others in Choice‘s popular “Forthcoming” series, this selected list is designed to provide information about publications that may support academic curricula, particularly at the undergraduate level, and to assist librarians and faculty responsible for selection and collection development.

Titles are organized into five broad subject categories: Research and Technical Guides, Internet Security and Crime, Internet and Society, Internet and Business, and Internet and Education.

In compiling this list, Choice invited publishers to submit title information for 2011 and 2012 publications.  In addition, editors checked publisher catalogs and Library of Congress cataloging-in-publication records for appropriate titles.  The bibliographic information was supplied directly by publishers or obtained from publisher catalogs and promotional materials; data include anticipated release date, price, and ISBN.  Estimated prices and dates are followed by “e.”  As in all lists of this type, release dates, prices, and even titles are subject to change.

Choice extends special thanks to the thirty-one publishers who supplied and verified information about their new and forthcoming titles for this feature.
