Accessibility Statement
Lived Places Publishing, via its partnership with the Fulcrum platform, aims to meet WCAG 2.1 AA Standards in both the platform and its content by providing infrastructure and resources to support accessible books, image descriptions, transcripts for audio, captions for video, and alternative formats for digitized content.
The extent to which Fulcrums meets WCAG 2.0 and Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act is reported in Fulcrum’s Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT®) Version 2.3 INT.
If you have any further questions or need to request an accessible copy of a title, please email fulcrum-info@umich.edu.
SERU Statement
Lived Places Publishing is a signer to the NISO Shared Electronic Resource Understanding (SERU). If your institution is also a signer of the SERU, no license agreement is necessary. You can add your institution to the SERU registry here: niso.org/standards-committees/SERU/SERU-registry. Alternatively, Lived Places Publishing will accept your university’s preferred content licensing agreement or provide our standard licensing agreement for your review.
Interlibrary Loan Policy
Our ILL policy is as follows: If you (“Licensee”) purchase the collection (the “Licensed Materials”) publisher-direct from Lived Places Publishing, we extend the right for you to loan LPP books to other academic libraries on a one-institution/one-loan basis.
The Licensee may provide to a library, or directly to a patron of a library, by paper or electronic means, a single copy of an individual title (or document) being part of the Licensed Materials, within the guidelines of traditional interlibrary loan practices and applicable copyright laws.
Restated, the Licensee retains its unlimited access to each title as a part of the Licensed Materials, and can simultaneously loan a title to one institution at a time. Further loan of that title is not permitted until the title has been removed from the loan-receiving institution’s system.
CLOCKSS
Lived Places Publishing has entrusted the long-term preservation of our published content to the CLOCKSS archive so that you can be certain that you’ll retain perpetual access to Collections you’ve purchased.
CLOCKSS is a collaboration between research libraries and academic publishers. CLOCKSS is a financially secure, independent non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, governed by its Board of libraries and publishers.
As a digital archive, CLOCKSS preserves online scholarly content. This unique service enables authors, libraries, and publishers to be confident that the content they produce and steward will withstand potential technological, economic, environmental, and political disruptions. Content will always be available to those who want to access it, even after a trigger event has occurred.
Open Access Policy
Lived Places Publishing devotes 5% of all library collection revenue generated to funding open access publishing.
The 5% of our revenues devoted to open access publishing are allocated based on our average per title book production cost. In the interest of full transparency, we publish average book production costs here on our website (updated every 6 months).
Lived Places Publishing authors can select to have their book considered for open access. Based on funding available for open access and the considered opinion of our advisory board and publisher, titles enter into our open access program.
