In each subject area represented in the University curriculum, collection management selects materials in appropriate formats to the depth needed to support the degree programs in place. It should be understood that these levels represent an ideal that will be pursued to the extent that funds permit. It includes a broad range of basic works in appropriate formats, classic retrospective materials, key journals on primary topics, selected journals and seminal works on secondary topics, access to appropriate machine-readable data files, and the reference tools and fundamental bibliographical apparatus pertaining to the subject. It supports to a lesser extent subjects that are taught but in which no degree is offered. Crucial foreign language materials are included.
Older material is retained if pertinent for historical research.
