demand and now has a spread of
facilities over the Midwest and East
Coast. The LSC book fulfillment
footprint now totals more than 3.7 million
sq. ft. of operating space, serving clients
in all of its market sectors. Most recently,
LSC has acquired Elsevier’s warehousing
and distribution facility in Missouri
to strengthen its full range of supply
chain services for publishers of both
printed and electronic books. It’s a great
demonstration of the new service model,
says McCree, in partnership with one of
the world’s leading publishing houses.
Educational technology, or edtech, is
a fast-expanding and very fluid area of
content delivery, explains Shea. “There
are hundreds of new and disruptive
startups, attracting billions of dollars
in investment, challenging established
players like Amazon, Apple, Google
and Microsoft.” These companies are
seizing on technologies like virtual
reality (VR), artificial intelligence (AI) and
audio-visual (AV) tools delivered using
cloud technology – but while this has
disrupted print, it hasn’t replaced it.
