About the session

Textbooks, monographs, reports, handbooks, collected essays, novels, poetry collections – many formats of ‘long-form’ material continue to flourish and evolve. Why does printed text continue to be so popular? Now that they are more established, how are e-versions fitting into this picture? This event will examine the status of the e-book in the academic context, and review the latest analysis and developments in relation to teaching, learning and research.
