About the collecting levels for the Central Library
This table, created 10/27/95, describes the collection development levels for the Central and Science Libraries. The five possible levels of collecting are defined below. The tables outline the libraries' current level of collection as well as the desired level.
|
Level
0
|
Out
of Scope
|
The library does not collect in this area. |
|
Level
1
|
Minimal
Level
|
A subject area in which few selections are made beyond very basic works. |
|
Level
2
|
Basic
Information Level
|
A collection of up-to-date general materials that serve to introduce and define a subject and to indicate the varieties of information available elsewhere. It may include dictionaries, encyclopedias, access to appropriate bibliographic databases, selected editions of important works, historical surveys, bibliographies, handbooks, a few major periodicals, in the minimum number that will serve the purpose. A basic information collection is not sufficiently intensive to support any advanced undergraduate or graduate courses or independent study in the subject area involved. |
|
Level
3
|
Instructional
Support Level
|
A collection that is adequate to support undergraduate and MOST graduate instruction, or sustained independent study; that is, adequate to maintain knowledge of a subject required for limited or generalized purposes, of less than research intensity. It includes a wide range of basic monographs, complete collections of the works of more important writers, selections from the works of secondary writers, a selection of representative journals, access to appropriate non-bibliographic data bases, and the reference tools and fundamental bibliographical apparatus pertaining to the subject. |
|
Level
4
|
Research
Level
|
A collection that includes the major published source materials required for dissertations and independent research, including materials containing research reporting, new findings, scientific experimental results, and other information useful to researchers. It is intended to include all important reference works and a wide selection of specialized monographs, as well as a very extensive collection of journals and major indexing and abstracting services in the field. Pertinent foreign language materials are included. Older material is retained for historical research. |
|
Level
5
|
Comprehensive
Level
|
A collection in which a library endeavors, so far as it is reasonably possible, to include all significant works of recorded knowledge (publications, manuscripts, other forms), in all applicable languages, for a necessarily defined and limited field. This level of collecting intensity is on that maintains a "special collection"; the aim, if not the achievement, is exhaustiveness. Older material is retained for historical research. |

Latin American Studies About the collecting levels
A collection of long-standing strength, the geographic focus throughout the disciplines in this interdisciplinary field has been on Brazil and Colombia, with a secondary emphasis on Mexico and Venezuela. The collection is particularly strong in nineteenth- century Colombian and Brazilian history and mesoamerican anthropology and archaeology. A recent area of development is in the field of Chilean history. The library has a special strength in eighteenth and nineteenth-century travel accounts of Latin America and the Caribbean.
