Information Research comes to Borås

Introduction. This short paper reflects on the history of Information Research from the perspective of the Swedish School of Library and Information Science at the University of Borås (Sweden), which was entrusted with the journal’s sustainable continuation by its founder Tom Wilson in 2016. Method. A short, informal survey among the authors was used to gather valuable insights from current and former colleagues at the Swedish School of Library and Information Science who all contributed to the journal in some form or other, and to compile a chronology of significant events for the journal and its current home base. Conclusion. After thirty years, Information Research remains a key publication venue in the field – not least because of its founder’s trailblazing dedication to Open Access publishing avant la lettre. The Swedish School of Library and Information Science is proud to look back on its involvement in the journal over the years, and remains dedicated to ensuring that it continues to offer a sustainable home for information research in the future.
