Leaving SWRK at U of M

I'll leave this blog up for a little while, perhaps until the end of the month, but won't be making any more contributions to it.  If you hadn't heard, I won't be the Liaison Librarian for SWRK anymore, and hence will be taking this blog down shortly.

You can still follow me on Twitter, and my non-SWRK musings on my blog at ambrosamman.blogspot.  See you there,

Denying long term support to alcoholics

An interesting court decision.  Make of this what you will.

The Ontario Court of Appeal has upheld rulings that said denying two chronic alcoholics long-term support payments would violate the province's Human Rights Code.
