Thanks to Karen for sending along this interesting NPR piece about the proposed closing of the Clark-Atlanta Library program.
Cuts Force Clark-Atlanta Library Program to Close
from The Tavis Smiley Show, Monday , September 27, 2004
Due to financial cuts, Clark-Atlanta University in Georgia, a historically black college, is planning to close its well-regarded school of library and information science. NPR's Tavis Smiley talks with Akilah Nasokhere a librarian and a Clark-Atlanta graduate and Carol Brey Casiano, president of the American Library Association.
There's been a lot of discussion around library blogs, Library Journal, the ALA, etc. and this was an interesting interview on the need for librarians, particularly minority librarians, and generally for support for libraries, librarians, and library schools.
