Since the early days of the Internet, I've been continually struck by the incredible opportunities library profession has been slow to open up access to the publications of its own professional association, and you have to push through plans to realign its finances, organizational mission, and goals in the new world of networked information. So, as a long-time LITA member, I find it a great pleasure to see LITA finally reach this milestone with Information Technology and Libraries (ITAL) moving to fully open-access electronic distribution, and I congratulate the LITA leadership for the educational settings, and to further the interactions between librarians, information scientists, open-access journals. Supporting ITAL as an open-access journal is a very good reason indeed to be a member of LITA.
