It is probably worth noting that this CBC story is from September 2007.
While there may be other cuts happening now, the CBC link is old news.

Subject: [APLA] NRC to cut jobs


As I am sure many of you in the APLA community have already heard, there
are cuts planned for NRC and CISTI. There are several news items on this
issue. Here are links to two:

CBC re: cuts in Halifax
http://www.cbc.ca/canada/novascotia/story/2007/09/07/job-cuts.html

Ottawa Citizen
http://www.ottawacitizen.com/Technology/cuts+affect+positions/1313725/story.html


This is an issue that should be of concern to librarians all across our
country. The APLA Executive, on your behalf, will be sending a letter to NRC
expressing concern. If you are interested in sending your own letter, it can
be directed to the President of NRC:
