Levels of Collecting Intensity: Animal Science

Using WLN/OCLC Conspectus

Levels:

Out-of-scope, not collected

Minimal information level

Basic information level

Study or instructional support level

Research level

Comprehensive level

Please note that where the entire category was deemed to be collected at the same level of intensity, that category was collapsed to only display its highest-level categorization. Within a category, individual call numbers collected at a different level than the overall category are pulled out as needed.
