“This report, written by Professor Marilyn Deegan, is one of two final outputs from the Arts and Humanities Research Council/ British Library Academic Book of the Future Project, (2014)  and explores the many strands of project activity. It forms a companion to Dr Michael Jubb’s Academic Books and Their Future Report. The two reports complement each other, and reflect the wide set of communities and contexts the Project engaged with, highlighting positive collaborations, creative solutions and business models, and ongoing research tackling the tensions that surround academic book production, dissemination, consumption, and conservation.”
