Meanwhile, Jurnal Kajian Informasi & Perpustakaan start using Online Journal System in June 2016. Therefore, our publication from June 2013 until December 2016 was back issued.

Since Vol. 4, No. 2, December 2016 (after obtaining ISSN-Online), Jurnal Kajian Informasi & Perpustakaan has a change in publisher which was initially published by LP3, Faculty of Communication Science, Padjadjaran University, changed to the Library Science Study Program, Faculty of Communication Science, Padjadjaran University. 

Then in 2017, the name of the Journal in the header of the website has changed the conjunction ‘and’ in Jurnal Kajian Informasi dan Perpustakaan to the logogram ‘&’ thus, it becomes Jurnal Informasi & Perpustakaan to adjust the data of the original name on the delivery of the ISSN Journal.

On April 26, 2017, Jurnal Kajian Informasi & Perpustakaan received Training in the Application of the Electronic Journal/OJS Application from the Directorate General of Higher Education, Kemristekdikti. After that, we did some alterations to improve. Authors' guidelines were revised in December 2017 on article interface and header ("judul sirahan").

We also use journal templates for the December 2017 edition with additional titles on the first page and layout settings. Besides, in the same publication, we also revised the focus and scope and made several changes to the ISSN information on the Front Cover and Publisher on the Back Cover.

Then, since the December 2017 edition, we have also implemented a double-blind review along with improvements to the assessment instruments for reviewers.

At 30 June 2019, Dr. Pawit M. Yusup stepped down as Editor-in-Chief. From 1 July 2019, Andri Yanto, M.I.Kom will take over the position of Editor-in-Chief.
