据学院官方 网站消息，UIUC图书情报研究生院 ( Graduate School of Library and Information Science, GSLIS) 即将更名。目前的名字始于1981年，为第5个名字，已经使用了30多年。学院将采用新的名称 School of Information Sciences 。新的名字与现有的相比，显著变化之一是去掉了 Library( 图书馆)，是否意味着图书馆学以及图书馆事业 的重要性在下降？另一个变化是 Sciences采用了复 数的形式，是否说明了包含的范围会更广？ 更名之后，有哪些亮点呢？ 一是增加新的硕士生研究方向——信息管理( information management )。目的是适应快速发 展的社会领域，扩展学院的研究方向。 二是 图书馆学以及图书馆事业的研究不会减少。而是把图书馆的价值和文化放在更加多样化的信息事业和信息环境中，比如服务道德、多样性尊重、文化传承、隐私保护、知识产权等。 三是学院名称体现了教学、科研和社会参与度更广阔的空间。 Sciences的使用包含了所有的 信息与信息机构的知识与工作实践范围。 图 GSLIS的logo 资料来源： http://www.lis.illinois.edu/articles/2015/10/stakeholders-express-support-concern-regarding-name-change-proposal
University of Illinois to help establish new manufacturing lab Posted: Wednesday, February 13, 2013 12:00 am By Lauren Rohr | Staff writer The next step for the new University-affiliated manufacturing lab Gov. Pat Quinn introduced last week is finding a location in Chicago, project leaders said. 对于州长奎恩上周介绍的新的归属大学的制造实验室，项目主管说，下一步是在芝加哥找一块地方。 The Illinois Manufacturing Laboratory will serve as an independent, non-profit innovation hub that will focus on manufacturing advancement and workforce development, said University spokesman Tom Hardy in an email. 伊利诺伊制造实验室将是一个独立的非营利创新中心，关注制造技术进步和人力资源开发，大学发言人 Tom Hardy 在一封电子邮件中说。 Quinn announced the partnership with the University and National Center for Supercomputing Applications in his State of State address Feb. 6. In his speech, he said manufacturing has been one of Illinois ’ leading growth sectors, with the creation of approximately 40,000 new jobs in the last three years; however, 140,000 job openings in Illinois remain unfilled because of a lack of skill needed for these jobs. He said the IML will help to close the “ skills gap. ” 奎恩 2 月 16 日在他的州务报告中宣布了与大学和国家超级计算应用中心的伙伴关系。奎恩在演讲中说，制造业已经是伊利诺伊州的领先增长部门，在过去三年中创造了近四万个新工作岗位。但是，由于缺乏适合这些工作所需的技能，有 14 万个岗位闲置。他说，伊利诺伊制造实验室将弥补这个技能空白。 “The Illinois Manufacturing Lab will make our manufacturers more competitive, ” Quinn said. “ Now, in our Illinois, we leave no worker behind. ” “伊利诺伊制造实验室将使得我们的制造业更具竞争力，”奎恩说。“现在，在我们伊利诺伊，我们没有让任何工人落伍。” Hardy said both the Urbana and Chicago campuses will benefit from the creation of this lab. The project will utilize the center ’ s supercomputing resources along with the Urbana campus ’ workforce development training through the College of Education. It will also involve the Chicago campus ’ Electronic Visualization Laboratory, a graduate research lab with a focus on computer science and art, he said. 哈迪说，芝加哥与厄巴纳两个分校都将从这个实验室的建立中获益。该项目将把中心的超级计算资源与厄巴纳分校教育学院的人力开发培训资源协同利用起来。它还将涉及芝加哥分校的电子可视化实验室——一个关于计算机科学与工艺的研究生研究实验室，他说。 “The University of Illinois will gain additional awareness of its capabilities, expertise and value to the state, as well as new revenue, by connecting even more than it does now with a key sector of the state ’ s economy — the 20,000 manufacturers in Illinois who compete in local, national and global markets, ” Hardy said. 通过与本州经济的一个关键部门的更多联系，伊利诺伊大学将获得对其能力、专业特长及对本州价值的额外认可，也会得到新的收入。在伊利诺伊州，有 20000 个制造业企业在参与地方、全国及全球的市场竞争。 He said the state is investing $5 million in the project, a cost that will need to be matched by private firms and other outside sources. He said the project could come together within a year. 他说，州政府在这个项目上将投资五百万美元，这还需要私人企业和外部来源的配套资金。他说，这个项目将在一年内启动。 Merle Giles, director of the private sector program at NCSA, said the center hosts supercomputing resources and provides support for companies that specialize in manufacturing. He said the merging of classical manufacturing with more advanced digital tools will make companies more innovative and productive. 国家计算机安全协会私人部门规划处主任吉尔说，中心拥有超算资源，为专注制造业的公司提供支持。他说，传统制造业与更先进的数字工具的融合将产生更强的创新力，更高的生产率。 “To reach the very manufacturers who make things and struggle with access to these digital tools, we need to be where they live, ” Giles said. “ So we ’ ve proposed to take the NCSA toolset, and set up shop in Chicago where these companies are and extend the consulting engagement that we do here in Champaign today. ” “为了更接近正在挣扎着想利用这些数字工具制造产品的企业，我们需要想他们所想，”吉尔说。“所以，我们已经提出采用国家计算机安全协会的工具箱，在这些企业的所在地芝加哥建立工作站，扩展我们今天在香槟做的那些咨询业务。” But many community members have expressed discontentment with the choice of location. 但是，许多团体成员对地点选择表达了不满。 Peter Fox, founder of Fox Development Corporation, the developer of Research Park in Champaign, said he is concerned about University resources leaving the Champaign-Urbana area. He said the local economy is fragile and needs an economic development focus similar to that of Chicago. 彼得·福克斯——福克斯开发公司的创始人，香槟科技园的开发者——说，他正在考虑把大学科技园迁离香槟 - 厄巴纳地区。他说，这里的地方经济脆弱，需要类似芝加哥那样的经济发展中心。 “If we don ’ t create more higher-paying, technology-oriented jobs, it ’ s very difficult for the University to obtain and attract the best faculty and the best staff, ” Fox said. “如果我们不创造具有更高报酬、技术导向的工作岗位，大学就很难吸引最好的教职员。” Although the specific location for the lab has not be determined, Giles said Chicago is a logical city for the lab because of the community of large companies NCSA serves, most of them are located in the Chicago area. 虽然实验室的具体位置还没有确定，吉尔说，芝加哥对实验室是一个理想城市，因为国家计算机安全协会的大型公司集团都在芝加哥地区。 “We want to accelerate innovation and use speed as an advantage, ” Giles said. “ In order to do that, we have to step out of our research umbrella and be more entrepreneurial. That ’ s the reason we need to be in Chicago. ” “我们应该加速创新，以速度为优势，”吉尔说。“为此，我们必须走出我们的科研保护伞，更具创业精神。这就是我们需要在芝加哥的原因。” http://www.dailyillini.com/news/campus/article_e310523a-759e-11e2-878f-001a4bcf6878.html
