Publishing Model

Faculty are increasingly asking campus libraries to provide materials from a broader, more diverse range of authors and subject areas. LPP exists to support librarians and faculty in this goal with a new Collection of 105 ebooks designed as course readings called Intersections: Identity & Place.
