Greetings All. The initial meeting of the Library and Archives Services Advisory Board has been set for 9:00 a.m to 4:30 p.m., Friday 30 November 2007, in Library and Archives at 395 Wellington Street, Ottawa. Please note that this is not an open meeting, but is for only those who have been invited to participate on the Board. I have indicated my intention to attend in person. I have not yet received the full agenda of the meeting, however it is known that one subject to be discussed will be manned hours of service at Library and Archives Canada. This is an issue that, at least in part, was likely responsible for the formation of the Services Advisory Board. If you have been a visitor to the LAC in Ottawa, or expect to visit in the future, and have concerns regarding manned hours of service that you would like to see expressed to the Board, please send an email to my address below, with a subject line of 'LAC SAB'. Please advise also if you would like to see other subjects, relating to LAC, addressed at future meetings of the Service Advisory Board. Thank you. Gordon A.
