To help as we move this process forward, we want to hear from you! The 2021 BadgerLink Newspapers Community Survey is now open to gather feedback on your satisfaction with the current BadgerLink newspaper resources, and any desired features and functions of these collections in the future. Your feedback is important so please take the survey today, and share widely with other BadgerLink newspaper users. The survey will close on August 16.
