Comments
Answered Yes
It’s my belief that yes, this is true. I could see arguments, though, to suggest otherwise.
We are the only dedicated office on campus, but additional units in the library (copyright office, university press) and
outside the library (office of sponsored programs, online learning services) also contribute.
