The proposal calls for the "disestablishment" of the Graduate School of Library and Information Science, meaning that UCLA would no longer offer an MLS or Ph.D. in Library and Information Science. The UCLA Graduate School of Library and Information Science and its constituents are mounting an aggressive campaign opposing Chancellor Young's proposal to close the School in July 1994. To write letters supporting the School, address them to: Chancellor Charles E. Young, Chancellor's Office; 2147 Murphy; University of California, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California 90024; Professor Carole-Goldberg Ambrose, Chair, Academic Senate, 3125 Murphy, University of California, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California 90024; Professor Gerald C. Pomeraning, Chair, Graduate Council, 1215 Murphy Hall, University of California, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California 90024-1419; or President J. W. Peltason, Office of the President, Kaiser Bldg., 300 Lakeside Drive, Oakland, CA 94612-3550. Two Internet lists have been set up. One is SOS-GSLIS-ANNOUNCE, which is a distribution list only. It is for announcements dedicated to news about the future of the School. If you want items posted to this list, send those items to: SOS-GSLIS-REQUEST.
