Thanks in part to the 3,962 people who voiced their opinions and signed, the UCLA Arts Library has a reprieve. It will not be closed during 2009-10. Gary Strong, UCLA University Librarian, is working with the Deans of the College of Arts and Letters' Division of Humanities, and those of the Schools of the Arts and Architecture and Theater, Television and Film to keep the Arts Library open in its current location and to explore, in Mr. Strong's words, "the appropriate future for the collections and the services it deserves." Alongside of this development, Mr. Strong is also in discussions with a donor who has offered support to help keep this institution open in the short term. These are encouraging developments; however, our ultimate goal is to support the long term survival of this critical cultural institution. Since 1952, the Arts Library has served faculty, students and the Southern California community as an essential cultural resource. In terms of research and scholarship it supports some of the nation's best programs in the arts, architecture, art history, film, television, theater and the humanities. With over 270,000 volumes and unique collections, the UCLA Arts Library is a singular institution in Los Angeles, a burgeoning center for the arts. It must be preserved. -- Heather Gendron Art Librarian Sloane Art Library UNC Chapel Hill 102 Hanes Art Center CB#3405 Chapel Hill, NC 27599-3405 Phone: 919.962.1061 Email: [log in to unmask] __________________________________________________________________ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] For information about joining ARLIS/NA see: http://www.arlisna.org/join.html Send administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask] ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.uky.edu/archives/arlis-l.html Questions may be addressed to list owner (Judy Dyki) at: [log in to unmask]
