Greetings All. In the last issue of my column, 'Gordon Watts Reports', I included an article relating to the reduction of manned service hours in Library and Archives Canada in Ottawa. The hours of 'manned' service were being reduced without there having been any known public consultation. It seems that someone in LAC listened to the concerns expressed by myself and others. Library and Archives Canada has extended an invitation to its clients to an informal discussion where they will be able to ask questions and obtain explanations on the latest changes related to client services. The session will be on September 19th from 2:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. in room "A" in 395 Wellington Street, Ottawa. Everyone is welcome to attend. I would urge anyone living in the Ottawa area that has concerns regarding the cutback in service hours at LAC to attend this meeting if possible. I would appreciate someone attending advising me as to what takes place at the meeting. Gordon A.
