Collecting, disseminating, celebrating

Salford Authors was created for three major reasons:

• Collecting: to provide a framework to identify Salford-authored works and add these resources to Library collections. In doing this we hope to create a rich repository of Salford-authored materials.
• Disseminating: to ensure Salford-authored works are easily accessible and discoverable via Library Search and the Library's website.
• Celebrating: to support and empower our researchers and professional staff. Through Salford Authors, we hope to celebrate academic and professional staff by showcasing their published works.
