Sara Roberts, Lisa Davies and I have been working on a project over the last nine months on research into academic textbook practices.

I’m pleased to be able to share the final report for this project:

Our findings informed work being undertaken by the Subject Librarian team, including:

• Communicating to academics the issues the library is facing in textbook provision
• Promoting the adoption of open textbooks
• Supporting academics in adapting/creating open textbooks.
