out of place

'inappropriate' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'from public library expert' is the wordplay.
'from' becomes 'out of' (I've seen this in another clue).
'public library' becomes 'PL' (abbreviation for public library).
'expert' becomes 'ace' (ace can informally mean very good).
'outof'+'pl'+'ace'='OUT-OF-PLACE'

'book about university coming' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for out of place that I've seen before include "incongruous" , "inappropriate" , "needing to be elsewhere" , "Not suited to the occasion" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
