Letter from the Editor (June 2018)

Abstract

In the current (June 2018) issue, we continue our celebration of ITAL’s 50th year with a summary of the articles published in the 1970s, the journal’s first full decade of publication. The 1970s are particularly pivotal in library technology, as it marks the introduction of the personal computer, as a hobbyist’s tool, to society. The web is still more than a decade away, but the seeds are being planted.
