Abstract
Changes in library and information professional communications and journal publication in the last two decades are considered. Journals of professional bodies such as the Library Association and Aslib have now been sold to commercial publishers. The emergence of electronic journals is exemplified. Electronic discussion lists and newer forms of interactive communication, e.g. blogs and social networking sites, are discussed. The time spent in accessing and using e-sources of professional information should lead to improved services to users. Professional lines of communication are at an early stage of transformation, the progress of which needs analysis and description.
