Dr. Robert Ellett passed away suddenly this morning. Here is her message: "A message from SJSU SCHOOL OF LIBRARY AND INFORMATION SCIENCE I have just received some very sad news. Dr. Robert Ellett passed away suddenly this morning. Dr. Ellett was a tremendous colleague and mentor, and a great instructor in our School. He will be missed by us all! SLIS will be honoring Dr. Ellett once we get more details. However, I wanted to let you know about this now. I am shocked, as I am sure you are. We will be in touch about a change of instructor for his Libr 248 classes; unfortunately we will have to cancel his 1 unit RDA class -Libr 287-17. I am sorry to have to share such sad news. Dr. Hirsh" I was one of Dr. Ellett's students at SJSU. He was an amazing professor and gifted cataloger. Denise Kane
