Presenting the long range development plan of the University's library collections, this policy statement identifies subjects of collecting interest and indicates appropriate collecting levels necessary to support those subjects. The major subject areas, arranged by academic divisions, include arts and letters; natural science and mathematics; social sciences; education and psychology; health, physical education, and safety; business; practical arts; and special collections and records management department. For each topic in the subject area, a policy statement provides (1) a statement of purpose which enumerates both academic programs in the subject and known areas of interest and study; (2) general collecting guidelines which define such considerations as languages, chronological and geographical emphases or restrictions, treatment of subject, types of materials, and dates of publication; and (3) the observations and qualifications by subject subdivisions for which collecting levels are recommended.
