I am pleased, and somewhat relieved, to announce publication of the Spring 2021 (33.1) issue of MCLC, my last as editor of the journal. Find below the table of contents, with links to abstracts. My editor’s note, in which I introduce the new editors—Natascha Gentz and Christopher Rosenmeier—and offer a few observations on my tenure at the helm of the journal, is available as a pdf download. If you are so inclined, take a look.
Subscriber copies will be mailed out shortly. If you have any questions or concerns about your subscription, please contact Jennifer Nunes at mclc@osu.edu. She will be overseeing subscriptions until the full transition to the new editorial team and new publisher is completed, hopefully by this fall.
With bittersweet emotions,
Kirk Denton
