From the Editor: Here Comes the Sun

摘要

1 It's not very sunny in Chicago as I write this, more overcast and wintry and such. But readers who know me probably aren't surprised to see me lead off my first issue as editor of Law Library Journal with a shout out to the Beatles.2 Welcome to the first issue of volume 111 of Law Library Journal. It is with great humility, some trepidation, and (admittedly) a dash of impostor syndrome1 that I begin my journey as editor for the next five years. I look forward to carrying on the Journal's prominence as the preeminent publication in our field, though I am not above (or, perhaps to some of you, below) making some changes along the way.3 We have a newly constituted editorial board, with three academic librarians, two court librarians, and a law firm librarian. While LLJ has always been and will continue to be primarily academic-heavy, I hope that greater diversity on the board will attract more submissions from nonacademics who seek a greater voice in our flagship publication and in the law library literature in general.4 I thank AALL for this opportunity and will strive, in return, to live up to the high expectations consonant with the position. I also thank James Duggan for his outstanding work at the helm over the previous five years and for helping me along as I get my feet wet. Also deserving of thanks (and perhaps preemptive apologies) is Heather Haemker, publications manager for AALL, for the help already provided and the sure-to-be-more-of-it-to-come.
