Rob Kling died on May 15. Rob was Professor of Information Systems and Science, and Director of Center for Social Informatics, at the Indiana University School of Library and Information Science. In FOS circles, Rob was best known for his advocacy of the Guild model of open-access publishing. His vision for social informatics and open access, and his influence on the next generation of librarians, will be missed.

Removing the barriers to serious research.
