Bio
Jesper Boserup Thestrup
I have worked with Volkmar the last couple of years. We have been involved in different projects and surveys. We have published two different articles and a third is planned to be written later this year. Volkmar is inspiring to work with. He has a comprehensive theoretical knowledge in the fields that we have worked in and is able to combine this knowledge with the practical challenges of the daily work at a university library. He always gives valuable inputs to discussions and is very goal-oriented in his approach of planning a project. His sense of humor and general interest in music and culture in general only makes it more interesting to work with him. Best Jesper
