14 Legal Reference Services Q. 1 (1994-1995)

handle is hein.journals/lgrefsq14 and id is 1 raw text is: EDITORIAL The University of California at Berkeley currently is grinding its way through a process of discussion and debate that may produce the next generation of library education. Librarians do not need to be reminded that our profession is at risk. Our flagship library schools have been closed, and in many of our organizations other professionals are being put in charge of what have always been library operations. In the cruelest of ironies, at the very point that the information superhighway has stepped to the centerstage of national consciousness, librarianship is being left behind. The two library schools of the University of California; one at Berkeley, one at UCLA, have each been perched on the edge of the abyss for some time. For a moment, each was rumored to be dead. It now appears that each will survive. The resolution at UCLA seems complete. The UCLA Graduate School of Library and Information Science is merging into the School of Education. UCLA will con- tinue to graduate students with M.L.I.S. degrees in the future. The situation at Berkeley is more fluid. For two academic years the administration and faculty of Berkeley have studied the School of Library and Information Studies. During that time no new stu- dents have been admitted into the Masters program. As a succession Legal Reference Services Quarterly, Vol. 14(1/2) 1994 © 1994 by The Haworth Press, Inc.
