Editorial

Abstract

The past year has been one that I never could have predicted. As I entered what I thought was my final year as LRTS Editor, I was diagnosed with a debilitating neurological condition that required me to miss three months of work. I also missed the 2019 ALA Annual Conference in Washington, DC, since I was hospitalized during the week of the conference. I continued to edit papers and correspond with authors during that time. Fortunately, I had just one author withdraw a paper because I could not promise the turnaround time on her paper for which she had hoped. I am indebted to Brooke Morris-Chott, ALCTS’s communications program officer, and Tim Clifford, manager, ALA Productions Services, for their support during a challenging time.
