NU Press gets new director
The new director of the University of
Nebraska Press said Monday he will try to keep
the NU press as successful and prestigious as
possible.
David H. Gilbert, became director Jan. 1,
succeeding Fred Link, who was acting director
for one year. A UNL search committee selected
Gilbert from about 100 applicants.
The 40-year-old California native said the NU
Press, under the direction of Link and Bruce
Nicoll, director from 1958 to 1973, was made
into one of the top 15 or 20 presses in the
country.
"We will try to keep the NU Press as
distinguished as possible," he said.
The major duty of the NU Press, Gilbert said,
is to publish scholarly books of the region
written by NU faculty members and professors
from other universities.
The strength of the press, he said, is in its
publishing of English, Great Plains and western
literature. Gilbert said he is interested in these
types of literature, which attracted him to NU.
In addition to maintaining the present stature
of the NU press, he said he hopes to broaden its
responsibilities to include more books and
research papers of NU faculty members.
Gilbert said he also would like to see research
at east campus emphasized. Agriculture is
. becoming more important to everyone and more
of its research needs to be published, he said.
Before assuming his post, Gilbert was
associate director of the University of Texas
Press. He has taught English at Oregon State
University and has worked for a commercial
publisher. He received degrees from the Pacific
University in Forest Grove, Ore. and the
University of Colorado. i
As director of the NU Press, Gilbert will be
paid $25,000.
