Library resources must be adequate for the program and meet the standards of the appropriate accrediting agencies. Qualitative and quantitative factors of library resources in relation to a proposed program must be considered. In determining whether standards have been met, microform books, monographs, and other such material, as well as bound volumes, should be taken into consideration. Collections of periodicals and subscriptions to periodicals shall be sufficient in number, depth, and quality for the degree program contemplated. Factors to be considered in evaluating the adequacy and relevance of library holdings include the number of faculty, number of students, number of honors programs, number of differentiated areas of concentration on baccalaureate, master's and doctoral degree levels.
