Dear international alumni/ae-- The school's development director,
Jeff Richards, has been very successful at finding donors to sponsor
international students. The donors seem to prefer tying their gifts
to specific geographical areas. Please help us find good applicants
for these new scholarships (see below ).
Thank you and have a good holiday season.

Bush Administration to Close E.P.A Libraries in San Francisco and Nationwide
by Sara A. Fox, M.L.S. Dec. 12, 2006
The 2007 Federal Budget proposed by the Bush Administration and currently
before Congress includes a budget cut that would entirely eliminate the
Environmental Protection Agencys 27 libraries nationwide, including San
Franciscos own EPA Region 9 library. The Region 9 library provides the
public, free of charge, with environmental data on CA, AZ, NV, HA and the
lands of 140 tribal nations. The importance of this library cannot be
understated. The importance of this library cannot be understated in
providing citizens with scientific data about pollutants, wildlife, and
energy resources in our city, state and beyond.
The San Francisco Region 9 library has already had its hours reduced and
is limiting public access. This is especially bad news for the often
low-income, immigrant and minority communities in San Francisco, and their
advocates, who reside in some of the citys most polluted neighborhoods,
to whom environmental information is critical to their health and safety.
<snip>
On their own initiative, the Bush appointee led E.P.A has closed the
libraries in Dallas, Chicago and Kansas City, MO. The library in
Washington, D.C., while nominally still open to E.P.A staff, has been
closed to the public.
The E.P.A has responded that it plans to put documents online, but as the
Special Library Association noted, they have not put forward a concrete
proposal to do so, have been discarding document originals before copies
can be made, and in fact, have been deleting born-digital files from its
website, a move that does not save the E.P.A any funding.
