Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science celebrates 50th anniversary

The Verlag von Julius Springer, now called Springer Nature, is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the series Lecture Notes in Computer Science this year.  As I write this, there are over 13,800 volumes published in the series, though most of the earliest ones are long out of print.  The series also boasts two subseries, Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence, and Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics.  Most of the volumes in LNCS are actually meeting/conference proceedings.  Indeed, almost 20 years ago I co-authored a paper published in the refereed proceedings of a workshop that appeared in LNCS.  In the nearly 2 decades since, that paper has garnered well over 300 citations, according to Google Scholar.  Based on that n=1 case, I would say that the series successfully disseminated the research we reported in our contribution.
