The Future of Academic Books – Open or Closed?  

Balancing quality of academic books with affordability and accessibility is one of the biggest challenges facing students, publishers and universities today.

In the final session for Academic Book Week 2017 at the University of Derby, we have brought together a panel to discuss and explore explore new possibilities for the academic book in a world where information-seeking behaviour has changed, and scholarly research is moving away rapidly from traditional publishing models.
