       : US Geological Survey RIF
 
        The US Geological Survey Library has suffered the loss of
three librarian positions and one technical information
specialist position due to a reduction in force.
        Due also to a job freeze and attrition, the USGS library
staff in Reston, VA, has dwindled from nearly fifty people
to now about thirty-eight staff members. Also due to the
RIF, there are other staff changes. Some staff are transferred
to other sections in the USGS, and new people are coming into
their positions from outside the library. Other staff members
are reduced in rank, but keep a job.
        The reference staff has been reduced from four positions
to three during the last few months, and the circulation
staff has been reduced 25% as well.
