History

edit

The "hacker librarian" culture of the early 2000s led to an active community of library technologists: Code4Lib.[3] In December 2007, the first issue of Code4Lib Journal was published as an experiment to supplement this Code4Lib community.[4] The journal's audience is "generally those working as technologists in libraries. Articles are often of a practical nature, describing coding behind projects and often providing samples of code or project architecture."[5]

The Code4lib Journal was mostly published quarterly until 2020. Due to the pandemic and other social factors[6] it has been published three times each in 2020 and 2021.
