So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish

Abstract

This is my last editorial as Editor of College & Research Libraries (C&RL). My term was from 2022-2025. It has been a privilege, pleasure, and a rigorous learning experience for me to shepherd this journal. Throughout my term, I loved reading, reviewing, sharing and encouraging other colleagues’ work, and contributing to our profession’s knowledge and conversations. I’m taking this moment to reflect on my experiences as Editor. Many of you know that the phrase “So long, and thanks for all the fish,” is from science fiction writer Douglas Adams’ Hitchhikers’ Guide to the Galaxy series. It is a goodbye letter from the dolphins as they leave planet Earth. I’m borrowing it to say thank you and reflect on my past three years as C&RL Editor.
