The university library should be a more central resource to faculty in selecting materials from which to design their courses. In the past year I have come to realize there is a much more fundamental and profound argument regarding learning belonging in the library to which I must lend my voice and this column.
David’s extensive experience in academic publishing, his business background, and his sensitivity to the challenges facing both libraries and content providers combine to make him an excellent source of insights and advice. We have found his input invaluable in helping Docuseek figure out how best to serve colleges and universities.
– Jim Davis | President of Docuseek
David is an inspirational executive and publisher, purpose driven and committed to supporting authors to maximize the impact of their work on students, researchers and society more broadly. I would not hesitate to recommend David as a publishing partner, and I look forward to seeing Lived Places Publishing make a lasting contribution at the intersection of social identity and location.
