Abstract
Celebrating a decade of VILSC is a timely opportunity to reflect on the nearly ten years since the publication of the first issue of UVic Libraries’ scholarly journal, KULA: Knowledge Creation, Dissemination, and Preservation Studies. KULA publishes scholarship exploring the intersections between knowledge production and technology, including the changing digital environment of scholarly publishing itself. In this presentation, we will consider the past, present, and future of the journal in this context, focusing on how KULA’s editorial vision and philosophy have been and continue to be shaped by such technological innovations.
