I've examined about a dozen of these requirements (e.g. for engineering, education, art, etc.), and I don't recall any other that is so specific. Some misread this an think that we must subscribe to specific titles, but that is not the case - just a specific number of a specific criteria.
I think a warehouse of accreditation requirements would be very useful - but like all such ideas, the hard part is maintaining it.

Subject: [EXT] [ALCTS-colldv] Degree accreditation requirements
Does anyone know of a resource that gathers the various *degree* accreditation requirements that are specific to library resources? I'd like to know which accrediting bodies list titles to which a library must subscribe.
One that I've found is the American Chemical Society's Guidelines and Evaluation Procedures for Bachelors Degree Programs which states:
"An approved program must provide immediate institutional access to no fewer than 14 current and archival, peer-reviewed journals whose subject matter spans the chemical sciences. At least three of the journals must have a general focus (for example, Science, JACS, Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Chemistry – A European Journal, Chemical Communications, etc.), and at least one must come from each area of analytical chemistry, biochemistry, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, physical chemistry, and chemistry education."
Has anyone else come across language that is this specific?
