Q&A 6 P E E R T O P E E R : I L T A ' S Q U A R T E R L Y M A G A Z I N E | S P R I N G 2 0 2 0 F R O M T H E E D I T O R A t the end of the day, Peer to Peer, at her core, is the very countenance of the ILTA culture. To exist for decades upon decades is a testament of will, but moreseo a product of good content, of strong programming, and subject-matter-leading writing that is the peer-powered-ness that we often speak of as part of the ILTA experience. To call Peer to Peer the beating-heart of the organization is a hyphen too far, but nonetheless the truth: without good content, ILTA may have no good sessions, may have no ILTACON, no events, no members or partners. When forty years is upon us, harrowing down the birthday- barrel like a cake a-fire, we have to pause and look back, while looking ever-forward. For ILTA, the last forty years have not only yielded name-changes, VSLUG to LawNet to ILTA, but a marked shift in the paradigm of what is legal technolo. There are no more DOS prompts and rarely do we meet a new law-librarian: these things have gone the way of the filofax. Instead, we find ourselves standing at the precipice of Law2020, of Innovation, headed down a path of Cloud security, of AI and machine-learning, boldly going where no technologist has gone before. Welcome to the Peer to Peer of 2020: a new shape, a new size, and a whole new ballgame. We publish, or perish, but we are peer- powered. We are, and have always been, more than just one more article, more than just one more author, more than just one more quarterly issue for your readership. I hope you find our Spring issue as new and exciting as I do: we are in this peer-powered space together. Enjoy the read.
