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. r. lee hadden usgs library
