We are pleased to announce the publication of Networking Networks: A =
Festschrift in Honor of Clifford Lynch, guest edited by CNI Associate =
Executive Director Emerita Joan K. Lippincott. This special issue, a =
supplement to portal: Libraries and the Academy 25, no. 3 (July 2025), =
is now openly available through Project Muse: =
https://muse.jhu.edu/issue/55108.

In the summer of 2024, Clifford Lynch announced his retirement as =
executive director of CNI after 28 years of visionary leadership. To =
honor and document his legacy, CNI quietly launched this Festschrift =
project, inviting many of Cliff=E2=80=99s closest colleagues and =
collaborators to contribute reflections on his profound impact on =
digital scholarship, libraries, and the information landscape.

The final CNI membership meeting of Cliff=E2=80=99s tenure, held April =
7=E2=80=938, 2025, in Milwaukee, was to include a surprise presentation =
of the Festschrift=E2=80=99s table of contents. Though Cliff=E2=80=99s =
health prevented him from attending in person, he participated virtually =
and heard readings of excerpts from each contribution. Clifford Lynch =
passed away shortly after, on April 10, 2025. Authors completed their =
essays before his passing, and the original text remains unchanged.

As Andrew K. Pace and John O=E2=80=99Brien write in their foreword:
=E2=80=9CIt is rare in higher education and technology circles to =
establish a legacy that is felt by your organization, by your =
profession, by numerous associations and societies, and by hundreds if =
not thousands of colleagues across the globe. It is even rarer to build =
such a legacy without a single trace of the hubris or caustic =
personality that so often accompanies genius. Cliff=E2=80=99s humility, =
gentle but persistent persuasion, and remarkable good nature are the key =
elements of his indelible mark.=E2=80=9D

We are deeply grateful to all who made this tribute possible. Networking =
Networks documents an extraordinary legacy and will stand as a vital =
resource for future scholars of networking, digital preservation, and =
research libraries, and the work of the Coalition for Networked =
Information.
