Throughout January a selection of books written by University of Kent academics were on display in the Templeman Library. They highlighted 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!<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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

Something to celebrate and value<\/h2>\n

These titles are a great contribution to research led teaching and are available for staff and students to discover. They show the breadth, depth and diversity of Kent\u2019s research output and are only a very small sample of our excellent research output.<\/p>\n
