Subject: Chronicle article regarding the closing of Berkeley's anthropology library
Hi all,
Last week I was alerted by Jill Conte that an Op Ed had been published in the Chronicle regarding the closely of UC Berkeley's anthropology library. I thought it would be of interest to those of us in ANSS that had not seen it yet!

Administrators, while simultaneously investing more than $500 million in a new data-sciences center, say they cannot afford to keep it open. This is no local fight. | View this on The Chronicle of Higher Education > |
