"Career advice – what’s your top tip?
If you want to work in Ottawa (not just the government, but anywhere in the city), work on your French. In most organizations, a working knowledge of French (at minimum) is just as important as the Library degree or Library Tech diploma (...)"

"How do you stay current in your field?
By reading (publications from professional organizations, blogs and news), through involvement in professional organizations like the Canadian Federal Libraries Strategic Network (CFLSN) and by attending conferences (when possible)."
