Partnership: The Canadian Journal of Library and Information Practice and Research is an open-access journal for library practitioners. Since its first issue in 2006 it has actively invited submissions from every library sector and published on a broad range of topics relevant to libraries. As the journal reaches its tenth anniversary, we are exploring how the Canadian LIS community perceives the role and value of this publication. Is it part of Partnership’s role to provide a venue for Canadian librarians who are required to publish in peer-reviewed journals but whose work does not neatly fit into more niche publications? How important is a Canadian journal in a globalized world?
