As alluded to in our last few editorials, there are some exciting changes on the horizon for Library Resources & Technical Services, beginning with our move to being fully open access starting in 2023. A good deal of work has been happening behind the scenes to bring this move to fruition, both among the LRTS editors as well as in conjunction with the editors at our Core sister publications (Information Technology and Libraries and Library Leadership & Management) and the Core Executive Board. While there is still much work to be done at this stage, we hope to be able to share more information with our readers soon, so watch this space as well as other Core information channels such as ALA Connect. In anticipation of kicking off the next year as a fully open access publication, we are happy to devote this editorial to a call for papers devoted to the impacts of open access on technical services work.Published
