2. Additions <strong>for</strong> Certain Fields. For doctoral programs with<br />
a high degree <strong>of</strong> independence in their literature, additional allocations<br />
are made. <strong>The</strong>se fields include <strong>for</strong>eign literatures, social<br />
sciences beyond the three required <strong>for</strong> the base level, and certain<br />
physical sciences (earth sciences and astronomy). For each <strong>of</strong> these<br />
fields, an allotment <strong>of</strong> 2,000 volumes per year is made.<br />
For fields with programs that represent a substantial overlap<br />
with additional fields, such as area studies or combined literature<br />
and history programs, the allotment is made either in the literature<br />
category or the social science category, but not both. For example,<br />
at UC Berkeley the Asian Studies program and the Oriental Languages<br />
program receive 2,000 volumes <strong>for</strong> the pair, not 4,000; similarly,<br />
the Islamic Studies program and the Near Eastern Languages program<br />
at UCLA receive a combined allocation <strong>of</strong> 2,000 volumes.<br />
For fields without a considerable literature apart from that <strong>of</strong><br />
other disciplines--that is, fields that depend primarily on the<br />
literature <strong>of</strong> other fields provided <strong>for</strong> elsewhere in the model--no<br />
additional volumes are allotted. 7<br />
3. Additions <strong>for</strong> Graduate Pr<strong>of</strong>essional Programs. As in the<br />
second factor, allowance is made <strong>for</strong> certain pr<strong>of</strong>essional programs<br />
with a high degree <strong>of</strong> independence in their literature that are not<br />
covered elsewhere. For three fields, the allowance is varied depending<br />
on the extent <strong>of</strong> the programs:<br />
Agriculture 1,000-5000<br />
Engineering 1,000-3000<br />
Medicine-related Pr<strong>of</strong>essions 1,000-4,000<br />
7 Specific examples <strong>of</strong> fields in which advanced graduate degrees<br />
are <strong>of</strong>fered but <strong>for</strong> which no additional volumes are added are agricultural<br />
economics, anatomy, atmospheric science, biochemistry,<br />
biomedical engineering, biophysics, botany, classical archeology,<br />
comparative literature, comparative pathology, comparative pharmacology,<br />
demography, ecology, endocrinology, engineering physics,<br />
entomology, genetics, geochemistry, in<strong>for</strong>mation science, logic,<br />
meteorology, microbiology, neurosciences, nutrition, physiology,<br />
plant physiology, public policy, romance policy, soil science,<br />
speech, statistics, wildlife resources, and zoology.
