Abstract
Purpose. – The purpose of this study is to ponder the past, present and future of library jargon and librarianship. Design/methodology/approach – This paper takes the form of an opinion piece. Findings – The library profession and its vocabulary will continue to evolve. Originality/value – Most serials were once published on paper according to a schedule. This idea might sound as strange to young library patrons as paying for journals with bitcoins sounds to me.
