I was asked to provide information on Library Services for a BAS-T degree option WWCC is applying for. The administrator completing the application shared a statement on library services used in prior BAS program applications but these were strikingly

likely disregard my additions. </div>

Can I get a sense from the great minds in the room of what your experience has been? I wonder, is there any avenue to bring these concerns to the BAS Leadership council or other group?</div>
