The latest issue of the Journal of eScience Librarianship (JeSLIB) has been published! This issue’s focus is on the myriad of changes facing the current research environment. From AI to DEI, change is happening, and librarians must meet it head on…including the JeSLIB editorial team.

In this new issue we highlight one major change to the journal. In December 2024, Lisa Palmer, Distribution Editor, and one of the founders of JeSLIB, retired from Lamar Soutter Library, UMass Chan Medical School. You can read more about Lisa’s invaluable contributions in Regina’s Volume 14, Issue 1 Editorial.

We hope you will join us in thanking Lisa for all she did not only for JeSLIB, but for the scholarly communication and open access publishing communities over her all-star career. Thank you, Lisa, you will be missed!  👏🏼👏🏽👏🏾

Thanks for reading!
