Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
The library is not a separate research-producing division but is integrated throughout the campus. Nevertheless, their policy is not binding for all the other units on campus. The UNCG Faculty Senate may take up this issue in the near future but it has not been a priority due to other more pressing matters.
