[CALIBK12] "Library" is now "Learning Center" - What do you think?

[Heather Jansen]

Not to mention the fine program at Berkeley which renamed itself right out of the preparing librarians profession......

I recently read something somewhere that was concerned with the loss of the word 'library' because of all the intellectual freedom issues connected to the word.  A library protects the rights of its users to choose their own reading materials and privacy of those materials.  Can a 'learning center' do that?  Would a learning center user be legally protected or not?

Food for thought.

 Is renaming ourselves and our facilities the answer?
 
 
 Of course!
 
 You must have noticed the fabulous changes in the past as we renamed our association, ourselves, our buildings and especially that place at UCLA that does or doesn't teach people how to be ....well, information somethings......depending on who you ask.
