During Academic Book Week, Manchester University Press and The University of Manchester Library will be co-hosting a panel event, titled ‘Does the Academic Book Have a Future?’

The event will take place on Thursday, 26 January (11am-12noon) in the Ground Floor Seminar Room of the Main Library.

The panellists include researchers from the University, a University librarian, the manager of the campus bookstore and the Editorial Director at MUP. It is an impressive line-up and a hotly contested subject.
