This page contains a list of our publications to date, with links to full text wherever possible. We are currently carrying out research in three main areas –

    • levels of knowledge about copyright amongst UK library and information professionals and how to enhance copyright education;
    • institutional policies towards copyright, IPR and lecture recording;
    • student’s preferences for academic reading comparing print and electronic formats.
