In reviewing this category, it seems extremely broad. My comments would suggest moving the areas that support students and their learning to Category 1 - Helping Students Learn, and leaving this Category 6 to focus on the other institutional support services, e.g., accounting, business office, facilities planning & improvement, etc., etc. We are still using the term "library" and yet many institutions have increased their library service areas to include so many more services - are we reviewing from that perspective?
