Sheffield Authors Showcase

Introduction

The Sheffield Authors Showcase honours the achievements of our academic community, both by celebrating their contribution to academic endeavour and by recognising the effect that their scholarly works have had on their readers.

This collection highlights the outstanding work of our academic authors both past and present and we hope will continue to do so in the future. Items from the collection are not for loan although they can be read in the Reading Room, and for many of the titles the Library holds duplicate copies which can be borrowed.
