120 <strong>The</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Cali<strong>for</strong>nia</strong> <strong>Libraries</strong><br />

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.
