| Summary: | Almost a year ago, in the summer of 2023, the managing editors of the Emerging Library and Information Perspectives (ELIP) journal called upon LIS graduate students and recent alumni to submit their papers for the sixth edition of the journal. This marked the beginning of a significant transformation for ELIP, transitioning it from a structured process managed by a hired editor and faculty advisory board to a fully student-run, volunteer-driven journal. The relaunch involved revamping the editorial process, expanding the author pool, and enhancing outreach efforts, all aimed at creating a more inclusive and independent platform. The new issue exemplifies these changes, featuring diverse contributions across multiple categories, from research articles on TikTok's algorithms and information science ontologies to insightful discussions on podcasts and Wikipedia for information literacy. The managing editors, reflecting on the journey, now pass the baton to future editors, eager to see the continued growth and impact of ELIP within the LIS community. |
