Abstract
Purpose
To investigate and comment on changes in LIS during a lifetime in libraries, half of it spent in senior positions.
Design/methodology/approach
Narrative reminiscence.
Findings
Dramatic changes have occurred in the use of technology, management and attitudes to users, but most of them were initiated by non‐librarians. LIS needs more leaders and innovators.
Originality/value
Reflections on a lifetime in librarianship by one of its leading practitioners and the subject of this festschrift.
