A group of University of California at Berkeley students is in its fourth day of an open-ended occupation of the school's anthropology library in an effort to thwart plans for its closure.
The students say they will live amid the stacks 24 hours a day until the administration reverses plans to close the George and Mary Foster Anthropology Library as part of its"long-term space plan."
The students say UC Berkeley administration has been trying to close the library since 2012, but a similar student-led occupation kept the doors open. The university also suggests that its online library search tool can be used to better effect than physically looking for materials in person.
