Hola  a todos:

Mi amiga  Stefanie Haustein me informa que cierran su Departamento de 
Biblioteconomía y Documentación y me pide ayuda para escribir al Decano 
y Rector de la HHUD solicitandio que reconsideren su postura. Os mando 
la información y os pido vuestra colaboración. Recordar eso de las 
"barbas del vecino".

Nunca mejor, vuestro turno:


 > ***
 > We have been informed that the Department of Information Science is 
to be closed with the retirement of the chair holder Wolfgang G. Stock. 
The alleged reason for the closure is the need to economize and cut a 
professor’s positions at the level of the Philosophical Faculty (12 
institutes, 25 degree programs, 10,000 students) of the Heinrich Heine 
University Düsseldorf.
 >
 > The decision to cut this position in information science is 
supposedly due to the upcoming retirement of the chair holder in 2019. 
Unlike at other institutes in the Philosophical Faculty, the cut in 
information science would entail the closure of the whole department, 
affecting four degree programs, more than 10 university lecturers and 
almost 1,000 students, as Prof. Stock is the only full information 
science professor at the University of Düsseldorf.
 >
 > The dean announced this week that the decision regarding the closure 
will be made in the next faculty council meeting on Tuesday, 26 January.
 >
 > We would like to ask for your support to prevent this closure by 
writing a support letter to the university president (Rektorin) and the 
dean (Dekan) of the Philosophical Faculty of the Heinrich Heine 
University Düsseldorf. We would suggest that this letter included your 
personal opinion regarding the importance of the Department of 
Information Science at the University of Düsseldorf and why you consider 
it crucial that the closing is prevented. Please feel free use the 
following background information as arguments in your letter:
 >
 >
 >    *   The Department of Information Science at the University of 
Düsseldorf is one of the most productive information science institutes 
in Europe, as reflected in its annual output of 20-30 peer-reviewed 
publications.
 >    *   The closure of the department would mean the discontinuation 
of highly-qualified university education for the internet economy. This 
has a direct effect on the quality of future workforce in the sector, 
who would no longer be equipped with the specialized knowledge and 
skills needed by the information economy in the Düsseldorf region, 
Germany and abroad.
 >    *   Besides the internet economy, various other sectors and lines 
of business benefit from the interdisciplinary knowledge of alumni of 
the Department of Information Science. Particularly, university and 
research libraries show great interest in students who benefited from 
the education at the department.
 >    *   The department at the University of Düsseldorf is the only 
information science department at a university in North Rhine-Westphalia 
(NRW), which with a population of 11 million is Germany’s most populous 
state. Comparable degrees can only be obtained at three other 
universities in Germany: Hildesheim, Regensburg and Berlin. It should be 
noted that each of these departments has its specific focus in research 
and teaching, so that the closure of Düsseldorf would mean the loss of a 
specialized area of information science research and education in Germany.
 >    *   The further development of the information society represents 
an essential part of current political programs in the state of NRW, as 
well as on the German federal level. Closing the only degree program at 
a university in NRW that is explicitly devoted to educating and training 
highly qualified workforce for the information society contradicts these 
political goals.
 >    *   The Department of Information Science in Düsseldorf offers 
four degree programs, which currently train almost 1,000 students. The 
department has produced excellent alumni, who have taken up successful 
careers in private enterprises as well as public organizations.
 >    *   The Department of Information Science at the Heinrich Heine 
University Düsseldorf plays an essential part in the education of young 
academics. Düsseldorf Alumni have become information science professors 
and researchers in Germany and abroad.
 >    *   The intended closure goes against international trends, where 
information science institutes and degree programs are supported and 
expanded.
 >
 > Information Science education and research in Düsseldorf are a 
success story, which should not be ended purely due to economization 
efforts. The Department of Information Science at the Heinrich Heine 
University should rather be strengthened.
 >
 > We would kindly ask you to send your letter of support before the 
crucial faculty council meeting on Tuesday, 26 January 2016, 
independently to both the dean (Dekan) and the university president 
(Rektorin):
 >
