McGill may close 2 libraries in face of budget cuts - CBC News
McGill University is considering shutting down the libraries at two of its faculties, in the face of a $1.8 million budget cut. The Faculty of Education's library could be closed, and the Life Sciences library could be merged with a library in another building. "Both faculty and staff are very shocked that this is happening without any consultation," said Angella Lambrou, a Life Sciences librarian who has mounted a Facebook campaign to try to prevent the merger. Lambrou said McGill's Life Sciences library is the oldest and largest medical library in Canada.
