The Annals of Library Science was started by the erstwhile INSDOC with S R Ranganathan as its founder editor in the year 1954. Its name was changed to Annals of Library Science and Documentation in the year 1964. Again, it was renamed as Annals of Library and Information Studies in 2001. Over the years the journal has attained a reputation as one of the top Indian LIS journals which is indexed in Scopus and Web of Science. There are many studies undertaken (mainly bibliometrics) on the journal which proves its stature and popularity among the LIS professionals in India and abroad. The present paper makes reflections on its long history, editorial journeys, and prominent studies conducted on it. Finally, looking through a crystal ball, an attempt has been made to see the journal from a futuristic perspective.
