Bibliothèque et
Archives Canada fait marche arrière
&&Hugo Pilon-Larose
La Presse Après avoir annoncé aux
employés qui travaillent au service de prêts entre
bibliothèques qu'ils perdaient leur emploi et que leur service
était aboli à la fin du mois de janvier, la direction de
Bibliothèque et Archives Canada (BAC) se ravise. Devant les
nombreuses critiques, BAC est contraint de conserver
l'essentiel de son service de prêts.
«À l'instar de
plusieurs grandes bibliothèques nationales dans le monde, BAC
entend mettre sur pied d'ici la fin de 2013 un service de
prêteur de dernier recours lorsqu'il sera la seule institution
au pays à détenir un ouvrage quelconque.
«Ce service sera offert
aux bibliothèques et leurs clients où qu'ils soient au
Canada», a expliqué le responsable des communications, Marc
Comeau.
Offre numérisée
Jusqu'à tout récemment,
BAC fournissait aux Canadiens les ouvrages de référence sur
demande, peu importe où ils étaient situés au pays. Cela se
faisait à titre de prêt entre la Bibliothèque nationale,
située à Ottawa, et la bibliothèque publique du citoyen.
Pourtant, à quelques
jours de Noël, plus de 18 employés permanents, dont certains
travaillaient à BAC depuis plusieurs décennies, ont perdu leur
emploi.
La Bibliothèque avait
annoncé qu'elle fermait de façon permanente son service de
prêts et préparait une nouvelle offre de service numérisée,
fondée sur la popularité des demandes. Plus un ouvrage était
demandé, plus ses chances d'être numérisé grandissaient.
«Ce n'est pas clair, ce
qui arrivera à nos membres. Pour l'instant, ils ont perdu leur
emploi. On arrive à Noël, ça veut donc dire qu'ils vont passer
le temps des Fêtes sans savoir ce qui leur arrivera en 2013»,
a expliqué à La Presse Claude Poirier, président national de
l'Association canadienne des employés professionnels (ACEP).
Ce syndicat et l'Alliance de la Fonction publique représentent
l'ensemble des employés touchés par les coupes au service de
prêts.
Rencontre
Les employés du service
de prêts entre bibliothèques ont été convoqués aujourd'hui
pour une rencontre où l'on expliquera la nouvelle offre de
service.
BAC leur annoncera
notamment qu'elle continuera de prêter les ouvrages dont elle
a l'exclusivité, mais les employés qui ont perdu leur emploi
n'ont toujours pas reçu d'offre pour réintégrer le service.
L'ACEP dénonce le fait
que les cadres ne soient pas réellement touchés par les
nouvelles mesures de restriction budgétaire de la fonction
publique et que des décisions «scandaleuses» sont prises, sans
consultation.
«On a appris récemment
que de vieux journaux canadiens qui étaient archivés seraient
détruits, par souci d'économie. C'est une source d'information
majeure qui pourrait disparaître. Les membres sont furieux», a
dit M. Poirier.
Le responsable des
communications, Marc Comeau, a cependant voulu nuancer.
«Au cours des dernières
années, BAC a procédé à l'examen complet de sa collection de
journaux reliés, ce qui a révélé qu'une certaine quantité de
ceux-ci étaient en très mauvais état et donc impossibles à
consulter. Par conséquent, on a décidé de procéder à
l'élimination de sa collection des journaux reliés en très
mauvais état, mais seulement s'il en possède déjà des copies
supplémentaires, soit sur papier, soit sur microfiche. Environ
10% de la collection de journaux reliés sont ainsi visés par
cette mesure», a dit M. Comeau.

After announcing to employees who work in the service of
interlibrary loans they lost their jobs and their service was
abolished at the end of January, the direction of Library and
Archives Canada (LAC) changed his mind. Faced with criticism,
LAC is forced to keep most of its loan service.
"Like many large national libraries in the world, LAC will
develop by the end of 2013 service lender of last resort when
it is the only institution in the country to hold any work.
"This service will be offered to libraries and their
clients wherever they are in Canada," said communications
officer, Marc Comeau.
Offers digital
Until recently, the LAC provides Canadians with references
upon request, wherever they were located in the country. This
was on loan from the National Library in Ottawa, and the
public library of the citizen.
However, a few days before Christmas, more than 18
permanent employees, some of whom worked at LAC decades, have
lost their jobs.
Library announced it would close permanently its loan
servicing and preparing a new digital service offering, based
on the popularity of applications. More a book was required,
the more likely to be digitized grew.
"It is not clear what will happen to our members. For now,
they have lost their jobs. We arrive at Christmas, it means
that they will spend the holidays without knowing what will
happen in 2013, "said Claude Poirier in La Presse, National
President of the Canadian Association of Professional
Employees (CAPE). The union and the Public Service Alliance
represent all employees affected by the cuts to service loans.
Meeting
Service employees interlibrary loans were called today for
a meeting where we explain the new service.
Announce their BAC will continue to pay particular works
which it has exclusive, but the employees who lost their jobs
have not received an offer to return to the service.
CAPE denounces the fact that managers are not really
affected by the new measures restricting the public budget and
decisions "outrageous" are taken without consultation.
"We recently learned that old Canadian newspapers that were
archived are destroyed for the sake of economy. It is a major
source of information that could disappear. Members are
furious, "said Poirier.
Communications officer, Marc Comeau, but wanted to qualify.
"In recent years, LAC has undertaken a comprehensive review
of its collection of bound journals, which showed a certain
amount of them were in very bad condition and impossible to
see. Therefore, it was decided to dispose of his collection of
bound journals in very bad condition, but only if it already
has copies, either on paper or on microfiche. Approximately
10% of the collection of bound journals and are covered by
this measure, "said Comeau.
