An Introduction and the Year Ahead

Kristen Totleben

Abstract

Elegance of language may not be in the power of all of us,
but simplicity and straightforwardness are. ~ Henry Alford

These words are on a plaque on the podium where my institution’s library staff meet monthly (in-person and virtually) for the University of Rochester’s River Campus Libraries all-staff meeting. For the past 11 years, I have looked at this quotation many times during others’ presentations and for my own. As the next College & Research Libraries Editor, I feel thrilled, excited, fascinated and nervous. It is an honor and a challenge to be the next in line to steward scholarship in our profession through this journal.
