Cover of Choice, November 2000
WANT TO SEE YOUR LIBRARY ON A CHOICE COVER?

We're always looking for MORE PICTURES to use for our covers.

Before you send us anything, please read the basic specifications (below) and look at the covers of previous issues.

Pictured at the left is the Arnold Bernhard Library, Quinnipiac University, Hamden, CT.

Here's what we need:

Portrait orientation. Our cover is vertically oriented—most magazines are like that. Which means that we can't use many of the absolutely-wonderful-yet-definitely-horizontal library shots we receive from you nice folks. Anyway, we're talking tall here, not wide. Sometimes that works better for interior shots than exterior ones.

Slide or professional photo.  If you send a photo, a 9 x 12 or 8 1/2 x 11. We need at least 300 dpi resolution, and 600 is better.

Emphasis on the building not the people. People who appear in pictures for publication really should be completing permissions forms.

And we use more exterior shots than interior ones.

Please remember this: many wonderful library photos don't fit our specifications. Then we can't use the pictures. This makes us very sad. We don't like to say "No thanks" to you good people.

If you have shots of your library on your web site, we'd be glad to look at them and see what would work best for a cover. Or just send us pictures! Address them to Production Manager, Choice Magazine, 100 Riverview Center, Suite 298, Middletown, CT 06457-3445. We'll return your photos or slides after the issue is published, and give you some nice copies of the issue as souvenirs, too.
