Celebrating Kent book authors – research books on display in the library

Throughout September a selection of books written by University of Kent academics are on display in the Welcome Hall area of the Templeman Library. They highlight the range and relevancy of Kent’s book-related research activity and demonstrate the part books play in our University culture. They are also objects to value and enjoy in their own right!

In 2020 the library purchased the books and book chapters that the University of Kent submitted as part of the Research Excellence Framework 2021 exercise. We have continued to build on this collection in the following years, so we can continue to showcase our academic’s current research.

If something catches your interest then explore further in the Kent Academic Repository (KAR), where we hold articles, conference papers and thesis published by Kent staff and students!
