UCLA's Library and Information Studies Alumni Association cordially invites you to its 3rd Annual Fall ColloquiumProfessor Marcia J. Bates "Reconciling 'Information' and 'Libraries'? "Thursday, October 28, 2004 5:30 p.m. Los Angeles Pubic Library Palms - Rancho Park Branch In the "culture wars" within library and information science, the shortened versions, or code words, for competing views have been simplified to "information" and "libraries" camps. Those in the information camp are often seen by their opponents as the techno-freaks, wanting to computerize everything and to turn librarianship into a sterile "informatics," while the library adherents are often seen by their opponents as frozen in the amber of a nineteenth century professional ideal, no longer realistic in the 21st century. Is there no way to reconcile these camps? To see them from some kind of common perspective that will enable the field as a whole to work together? A member of the UCLA Faculty since 1981, Professor Bates has served the Department of Information Studies as both Associate Dean and Chair. She is an elected Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement for Science, and a recipient of the joint OCLC, Inc. and ALA Frederick G. Kilgour Award for Research in Library and Information Technology.LISAA welcomes all alumni - all former students are members without charge. Plan to attend and bring a friend! In addition to networking with fellow graduates, visit with Dean Aimée Dorr and Chair Virginia Walter, who look forward to bringing you news of the Department's growth and success.Appetizers and light refreshments will be served.
