[Forwarded. Dick Hill. Patrick Wilson won the ASIST Award of Merit in 2001. ]
Patrick G. Wilson, Professor Emeritus and former Dean of the School of
Librarianship at the University of California, Berkeley, died of heart
failure in San Francisco on September 12. He was 75.
When asked by oral history interviewer Laura McCreery what he thought his
lasting contributions would be, Wilson said, "Lasting is not up to me. If
anything lasts more than 10 minutes, it may be something that is, as far as
you're concerned, entirely irrelevant."
