XIII. Collecting Level

Defining the level of collecting by subject area will help the library build collections to the level needed by the academic programs offered by the University and also meet the general needs of the campus community.

Level 1 - Minimal Level

Very basic works only, for subject areas that are outside the scope of the University curricula and in which there is little interest of activity.

Level 2 - Basic Information Level

A selective collection of materials that serves 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, and a few major periodicals. Supports lower level courses.

Level 3 - Instructional/Study Level

Support undergraduate course work and independent research. The collection includes a wide range of basic works in appropriate formats, a significant number of classic retrospective materials, complete collections of the works of more important writers, selections from the works of secondary writers, a selection of representative journals, access to appropriate machine-readable data files, and the reference tools and fundamental bibliographical apparatus pertaining to the subject.

Level 4 - Research Level

Support graduate and research programs. Includes 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. Older material is usually retained for historical research and actively preserved.

Since University of Wisconsin-Whitewater does not offer doctoral programs, no subject area will be developed to comprehensive level which aims at exhaustiveness.
