118 The University of California Libraries The committee used as the basis for its recommendation a model developed by Melvin J. Voigt, a model later published (with some modifications) in the literature. 4 The approach has received wide support in the profession, and is currently in use or under consideration at a number of other institutions, notably the State University of New York. The original Voigt model was further modified by University committees to meet specialized situations, as Voigt had suggested would be necessary, 5 and in the version here proposed represents the best estimate possible of current acquisition needs, using presently available data. The results of applying the model are shown in Table 15 and each element is explained below. 1. Base Level. A base rate of 40,000 volumes per year is established for any library serving a university defined (for the purposes of the model) as offering the doctorate in English and at least two other major European literatures; in at least three social sciences; in the major sciences (chemistry, physics, biology and mathematics); in history; in psychology; and in philosophy. The base is intended to cover all undergraduate and master's degree programs, and most doctoral programs, expect for those in professional fields, as noted below. Specific numbers of volumes are not identified for each undergraduate major, master's program, and doctoral program, because it is felt that such an attempt "leads to a morass of meaningless numbers, due primarily to the great amount of overlap between fields, the extensive use of materials in several fields by students and scholars in other fields, and the variations in breadth and depth which programs with the same or comparable titles will have in various universities." 6 The base is also intended to include general materials not identified with a particular discipline. 4 Melvin J.
