INTRODUCTION

ARL Annual Salary Survey 1997-98 reports salary data for all professional staff working in ARL libraries. The Association of Research Libraries (ARL) represents the interests of 121 libraries that serve major North American research institutions. The Association operates as a forum for the exchange of ideas and as an agent for collective action to influence forces affecting the ability of these libraries to meet the future needs of scholarship. The ARL Statistics and Measurement Program, which produces the ARL Annual Salary Survey, is organized around collecting, analyzing, and distributing quantifiable information describing the characteristics of research libraries. ARL Annual Salary Survey is the most comprehensive and thorough guide to current salaries in large U.s. and Canadian academic and research libraries, and is a valuable management and research tool that describes salaries for librarians.

Data for 8,414 professional staff members were reported this year for the 110 ARL university libraries, including their law and medical libraries (772 staff members reported by 66 medical libraries and 643 staff members reported by 71 law libraries). For the 11 nonuniversity ARL members, data were reported for 3,779 professional staff members. For the first time the report includes data from Texas Tech University, whose library became an ARL member in 1997. Texas Tech reports data for both a law and a medical library.

This year's publication follows the general format of previous years. Most tables show Canadian salaries converted into U.s. dollar equivalents at the rate of 1.3663 Canadian dollars per U.S. dollar.! Tables 25 through 28, however, pertain exclusively to staff in Canadian university libraries, and salary data are expressed in Canadian dollars.

There were 848 minority professional staff reported in 97 U.s. university member libraries, including law and medical, five less than last year. Three minorities were added because of the inclusion of Texas Tech. Note that the data for minority professionals comes only from the u.s. university member libraries; Canadian law prohibits the identification of Canadians by ethnic category. In the tables that follow, the university population is generally treated in three distinct groups: staff in the" general" library system, staff in the university medical libraries, and staff in the university law libraries. All branch libraries for which data were received, other than law and medical, are included in the "general" category, whether or not those libraries are administratively independent.

1 TIlis is the average monthly noon exchange rate published in the Bank of Canada Review for the period July 1996N June 1997.

Overall, minority staff make up 11.03% of the professional staff in U.S. university libraries (including law and medical). Specifically, Asians/Pacific Islanders comprise 5.29%, Blacks comprise 3.58%, Hispanics 1.99%, and American Indian/Native Alaskan comprise .18%.

Women comprise 72.64% of staff in the four ethnic/racial groups that comprise minority staff, as compared to 63.56% for Caucasian/Other women in all U.S. university member libraries. The overall gender balance in the 110 Canadian and U.s. university libraries (including law and medical) is 35.22% male and 64.78% female. See Figures 1 and 2, following, for more detail on ethnic distribution.

Many readers have inquired about evidence of gender-based salary differentials, Data on salary comparisons for directors also are frequently requested, It is perhaps noteworthy that the average salary for female directors in university libraries is slightly higher than the average salary for male directors (see Table 15) for the second year in a row,

Looking at the 1997-98 data, as Table 15 demonstrates, average salaries for men in most cases surpass those of women in the same job category. For only ten categories (of the twenty-seven used in the Tables) do average salaries of women exceed those of men. Moreover, the overall salary for women is still only 93% that of men.

2 Includes staff in medical and law libraries

Table 17 provides average years of professional experience for many of the same staffing categories for which salary data are shown in Table 15. An inspection of data in Table 17 reveals that experience differentials between men and women cannot account fully for all of the salary differentials evident in Table 15. Table 19 further reveals that the average salary for men is consistently higher than the average salary for women in everyone of the experience cohorts. With some exceptions, this pattern is also repeated for minority librarians (see Table 20). Table 20 shows that minority women are paid more compared to minority men only in the 20-23 years of experience cohort.

Minority professional staff continue to be disproportionately distributed across the U.s. In Figure 2, below, one can compare the number of minority staff with other staff, region by region. These patterns of distribution have been relatively stable for the entire history of the ARL data collection experience.

Salaries in private U.s. university libraries continue to exceed those paid in publicly supported u.s, university libraries. In FY 1997-98, the differential is $2,220, or 4.6% more for the average position in a private institution, Only in a few cases such as heads of acquisitions, circulation, government documents/maps, etc., average salaries in the public sector exceed those paid for similar positions in the private university libraries (see Table 22).

Size of the library, as measured by the number of professional staff, is also a significant determinant of salary. As a rule, the largest libraries pay the highest average salaries, not only overall, but for specific positions as well. There are a few exceptions, however. In only two position categories the second largest group of libraries (those that report 75-120 professionals) pay the highest average salary. In four cases the lowest average salaries are paid by the second smallest libraries (50-74 professionals) rather than the smallest. These exceptions account for less than 6.8% of the cases where comparisons can be made. Average salaries for all staff in a size cohort increase by $1,073, $2,425, and $1,440 respectively as one proceeds from university libraries with the smallest number of staff to university libraries with the largest number of staff. These aggregated differentials account for a 10.7% disparity between the smallest and largest libraries (see Table 23).

Tables 3 and 12 reveal changes in beginning professional and median salaries, as well as changes in the U.S. Bureau of Labor's Cost of Living Index (CPI-U) for nonuniversity and university libraries. Table 12 includes law and medical library staff in order to maintain continuity for the thirteen-year span of time that the tabular data cover. Table 3 reveals that, compared to last year, the purchasing power of nonuniversity staff at the median has increased drastically. Compared to thirteen years ago, the median salary has gained 5.3% in purchasing power while the typical beginning professional salary has gained 12.7% in purchasing power during the same time frame.

Salaries for professional staff in university libraries have generally made more progress than non university library salaries, partly because university median salaries are slightly lower than those of nonuniversity libraries salaries. The purchasing power of salaries at the median is 10.5% higher than inflation, and the median beginning professional salary continues to show a larger gain -- 11.8% -when compared to FY 1985. These levels also indicate that there has been a slight increase in the purchasing power of professionals in ARL libraries compared to last year.

Rank structure continues to provide a useful framework for examining professional salaries in ARL university libraries. The following table displays average salary and years of experience in the most commonly used rank structures. Note that not all individuals may have a rank that fits into the rank structure the library utilizes. Most commonly, directors may have no rank or a rank outside the structure, and it is common for non-librarians included in the survey (business officers, personnel staff, computer specialists, etc.) to be unranked, as well.

11

The pattern of relationships between rank and salary seen in past years continues with the present report where higher rank is associated with a higher average years of experience and a higher salary. Over 65% (5,470 professionals) of the 8,414 librarians in ARL university member libraries occupy a rank within these three most commonly found ranking systems.

Readers are reminded that these data reflect only salaries, and that there are other compensation issues which may have influenced the pattern of salaries in various institutions. In addition, a highly standardized structure for capturing data has been used, and this may portray results in a way that cannot be fully representative of a local situation.

ARL ANNUAL SALARY SURVEY 1997-98 UNIVERSITY LIBRARY QUESTIONNAIRE

General Instructions for Completing the Questionnaire

1. This survey is concerned with professional positions only. Since the criteria for determining professional status vary among libraries, there is no attempt to define the term "professional." Each library should report the salaries of those staff members it considers professionals, irrespective of faculty status or membership in a collective bargaining unit, including, when appropriate, staff who are not librarians in the strict sense of the term, such as computer experts, systems analysts, budget officers,- etc.

2. Individual salaries for the general, law, and medical library may be repOlted on the enclosed disk, which contains simple spreadsheet documents that can be uploaded into most spreadsheet programs, including LOTUS 1-2-3, Microsoft Excel, and Quattro Pro. See "Instructions for Data Inputters" for more specific instructions. Please DO NOT alter the worksheets on the disks in any way; do not change any page or line numbers. We cannot accept data in WordPerfect fonnat, or any other word processing/text fonuat, because cf uploading and conversion problems. If you are not able to produce data that can be saved in a spreadsheet format, please submit your data using the printed forms. [If you have a word processing file with your data in properly labeled columns, you may submit a print-out of that file in lieu of the pre-printed forms. We will enter the data into a spreadsheet here at ARL.]

3. Salaries should be reported for both full-time and part-time professional positions. Salaries for part-time positions should NOT be converted to their full-time equivalents; report the actual part-time salary paid, and indicate the percent appointment for that employee in the appropriate column.

4. To calculate the percent appointment, if less than 1.00, which stands for 100%, divide the months the employee works by the number of months considered to be the norm for full-time employment at your institution (or the number of hours per week an employee works by the number of hours per week considered to be the norm for full-time employment at your institution). For example, if a full-time appointment at your institution is 12 months, a 9-month part-time appointment would be .75, i.e. 75%. If a full-time appointment at your institution is 40 hours per week, an appointment at 30 hours per week is also .75. To calculate the percent appointment for an employee who works 30 hours a week and only for 9 months a year, when the norm for lhlltime employment is 40 hours a week and a 12-month appointment, multiply the percent appointment per week by the percent appointment per year, i.e .. 75 x .75 ~ .56.

5. Percent appointment should be rounded to two decimal places; do NOT use whole numbers (e.g., enter .65, not 65 or 65%). All other numbers (e.g. salaries, years of experience) should be rounded to the nearest whole number.

6. The salaries for all professional positions should be included, regardless of whether the salaries come fi'om regular libraty budget funds or from special funds such as research grants. Please include all professionals involved in the provision of library services, including contract-supported positions.

7. The salary figures should be straight gross salary figures. Do not include fringe benefits.

8. SalalY figures should be reported in digits only; do NOT usc "$" or "," (e.g., 25470, not $25,470).

9. Explanatory footnotes to the reported figures may be provided, when necessaty, at the end of Part I. Footnotes will be included in the published survey, where appropriate.

77

10. After all data have been entered, make a backup copy of the complete file (including individualnames/id#s) for your institutiou's master file, if you wish to refer to this file in the future. Note: The data submitted to ARL does NOT include individual names or id#s, so ARL will NOT be able to supply a copy of your institutiou's complete file next year.

II. The questionnaire should be returned to the ARL Office by August 31, 1997. If you are providing the individual data on the diskette, please return the diskette in the mailer, along with Part I of the survey and a printont of the data file. Be snre to keep a complete copy of your relnl'll, including the disket~ your files.

Instructions for Completing Part I: Snmmary Data

I. Part I of this survey deals with general information for the current fiscal year, 1997-98.

2. Please include the Beginning Professional Salary for Law and Medical libraries if included in tile survey; if not included, enter "NI A" in the appropriate blank.

3. Question 1. The Beginning Professional Salary is the salary that wonld be paid to a newly-hired professional without experience, not necessarily the lowest professional salary paid. In reporting the beginning salaty, please use a figure that is actually used or likely to be used for enlly-level librarians hired by your library, even ifit is your practice rarely to hire enlly-Ievel professionals without experience.

Please report the 1997-98 Beginning Professional Salary to the best of your knowledge as it exists on July I, 1997. Do not delay returning your survey with the expectation that more information will be available later.

4. The 1997-98 Average and Median Salary figures will be calculated by ARL from the individual data supplied.

5. Be sure to fill in the name of the reporting Iibrmy and the name of the person who prepares the report.

78

Instructions for Completing Part II: Individnal Data

I. Part II of this survey requests information On salary, sex, minority status, rank, and years of experience for all filled positions for fiscal year 1997-98. Vacant positions . should be excluded from your report. No optional data are requested this year. The survey requests information for individuals; aggregate data for each institution will be generated by computer. This year we are collecting information on positions that pose coding problems and a column has been added to the worksheets for that purpose.

2. Data for the general, law, and medical libraries may be reported on the enclosed microcomputer diskette; see #4 below for specific instructions.

3. Survey Form. If you are not able to submit the data on the diskette, please use the enclosed forms. Photocopy additional sheets if you cannot list all professional positions in the space provided. You may also use a printout ii-om a word-processing document with all columns correctly ordered and labeled.

If you are repOlting on paper forms only, list information for individuals in separate Law or Medical libraries on sheets devoted only to each of those two branches. Check the appropriate box at the top of the fOlm to indicate when a sheet is only for Law or Medical library staff.

The left-hand column labeled "Name/ID" has been provided so the fonn can also serve as a work sheet. After the forms have been completed, the left-hand column should be removed to ensure anonymity of the data. Except for segregating Law and Medical library staff, the order in which staff members are entered on the fonn is immaterial; enter them in the order most convenient for you.

4. Diskette. The floppy diskette contains data input files for general, law, and medical library data in .wkl files that can be uploaded into many different spreadsheet programs, including Lotus I -2-3, Microsoft Excel, and Quattro Pro. They are labeled as follows:

General Law Medical

ARL7xxxx.wkl LAW7xxxx.wkl MED7xxxx.wkl

xxxx ~ Library identification number; see label on the enclosed diskette. The file names this year have a "7" preceding the four-digit Iibraty identification number, to distinguish them from, and prevent overwriting of, files you may have created in prior years.

The files contain empty worksheets with columns labeled as follows:

Name/ID Sex OEOCat

Rank Percent Problem Job Category/Describe (optional column added for 1997/98)

The column labeled "LibID" is already filled in so there will be no question about the institutional identity ct the diskettes as they are received. If the diskette has been damaged in any way, or if the number in the LibID column is not the same as the number printed on the diskette label, please call the ARL Office for instructions.

Detailed instructions for inputting data in each format are enclosed. Please do not alter any formats, page 01'

line numbers; please do not submit data using word processing software (use printed sheets instead).

After all data have been entered, make a backup copy of the complete file (including individual names/id#s) for your institution's master file, if you wish to refer to this file in the future. Note: The data submitted to ARL

79

does NOT include individual names or id#s, so ARL will NOT be able to supply a copy of your institution's complete file next year.

5. Salary. Enter the individual salaries as they exist on July 1, 1997. If the library normally increases salaries at a date later than July I, and the salary as of that later date is known or can be estimated (within $100 or so) by the time the questionnaire is due to be returned, use the higher salary figure and footnote the effective date and/or whether the reported figures are known or estimated. Please do not hold up the r\lllorting process for later salary adjustments. Salaries should be reported for all filled positions. Vacant positions should be excluded from your report.

Salary figures should be rounded off to the nearest whole dollar. Use digits only; do NOT use "$" or "," in reporting in figures (e.g., 25470, not $25,470).

6. Position Code (Job). The position categories used in this survey are intended to correspond roughly with the activities carried on in libraries, not with any particular pattern of staff organization or nomenclature.

Please use these categories in the manner you feel best applies to your library. Indicate a position title by means of one of the following codes.

DIRLIB ASCDIR ASTDIR HDMED HDLAW HDBR FSPEC SSPEC HDACQ HDCAT HDCIRC HDCOMP HDDOC HDMAP HDRBM HDREF HDSER HDOTH CAT REF PUBS TECH ADMIN

Director of Libraries (or equivalent title; refers to chief executive) Associate Director Assistant Director Head, Medical Library (Human Medicine only) Head, Law Library Head, Other Branch Library (including Veterinary Medicine) Functional Specialist Subject Specialist Head, Acquisitions Department Head, Catalog DepartmentlUnit Head, Circulation Head, Library and Computer Systems Head, Documents Department Head, Map RoomlDepartment Head, Rare Book/Manuscripts Department Head, Reference Department Head, Serials Deprutment Head, Other Department/Service/Agency Catalogers, both general and specialized Reference librarians, both general and specialized Public Services, non-supervisory, llillll1 reference librarians Technical Services, non-supervisory, except catalogers Administrative and other units, non-supervisory position

If any individual has responsibilities described by more than one of the above categories, choose the category that is most typical ofhislher general duties. Codes must be used exactly as they appear in the list above.

Positions for which coding is particularly troublesome because the position does not fit into categories already identified should be coded here, but identified specifically in the last column of the worksheet.

80

Associate or Assistant Director, and Head, Other Branch: Use these codes for all persons at these levels regardless of the area of specialty. If an assistant or associate director is also head of a department, choose the categoty that most reflects the general duties of the person currently in the position.

Specialists. These are of two kinds: Subject Specialists, who primarily build collections (but may also OM specialized reference and bibliographic services); and Functional Specialists, who are media specialists or who are experts in management fields such as personnel, fiscal matters, systems, preservation, etc. Specialists may not be, strictly speaking, professional librarians (i.e., have the MLS). The "specialist" category would generally not be used for someone with significant supervisory responsibilities, who should instead be listed as a department head or assistant director (see also note under Assistant Department Head, below).

Department Heads. Department Heads not specifically included in the above list should be included under the category "Head, Other Department/Service/Agency." Head, Catalog Department should be used either for the department that handles all cataloging, or for the head of a specialized cataloging unit (e.g. copy cataloging or foreign languages). List the head of library automation and computer systems, applications, programming, etc. as HDCOMP unless that person is also an Associate or Assistant Director, in which case use the appropriate administrative code. If there is an intermediate level of management between an Associate or Assistant Director and the professionals who actually carry out the analysis, programming, etc., use HDCOMP to define that intermediate level. Professionals who carry out analysis, programming, etc. should be listed as functional specialists (FSPEC).

Head, Acquisitions Department. Use HDACQ for all of the following positions: (a) head of a department that is responsible for the selection of material (or management of selection activities carried out on a basis encompassing more than a single organizational unit), but not responsible for the placement of orders, payment of invoices, etc.; (b) head of a department responsible for the placement of orders, maintaining on-order files, payment of invoices, etc., but not responsible for selection decisions; (c) head of a department responsible for both the selection decisions (or coordination of selection activities) and for acquiring the material. Libraries that split these two functions between two departments should report more than one professional with the position HDACQ.

[Special note concerning Assistant Department Heads. Assistant Department Heads who are responsible for major units and spend the bulk of their time in supervision and revision of the work of others should also be listed as "Head, Other Department/Service/Agency." See additional subcodes below for Head, Cataloging, and Head, Other Department. However, Assistant Head positions responsible for small units or for supervision only in the absence of the head should be reported as non-supervisory or specialist positions as appropriate.]

7. Sex. Indicate either M or F, for male and female, respectively. Please use only the letter indicated; do not spell out the word.

8. Minority status code (OEOCat). U.S. university libraries, only, should indicate minority status by means <f one ofthe following code numbers. (Leave blank if a Canadian library or if vacant):

I Black

2 Hispanic

3 Asian or Pacific Islander

4 American Indian or Native Alaskan

5 Caucasian/Other

81

9. Total years of professional experience (Y rsExp). Define "professional experience" as indicated in the general instructions; for most professional staff members this will mean counting the years since the MLS degree was awarded. When counting, do not subtract interim periods when an individual was not engaged in professional library employment if these periods are short in relation to the overall professional career. Count an academic year contract period as a full year. Be sure to include professional experience in previous positions and in other institutions. Numbers should be rounded off to the nearest whole number.

10. Rank. Responses concerning rank should be limited to those professionals reported in the survey who occupy ranks designated in the normal library rank structure. Indicate a zero (0) in the rank column for professionals who are ranked outside the library's rank structure, or for whom a rank is not applicable. For example, if the Library Business Officer holds a rank typically used for university administrators but not for librarians, supply a rank code of zero (0) for that individual. Top administrators, such as directors and assistant or associate librarians, are also examples of individuals who are fi'equently ranked zero (0).

If multiple ranking structures are used for librarians and these structures are substantially different and not equivalent, enter individual rank information only for that group which represents the largest fi'action of "rankand-file" librarians.

Do not use Roman numeral rank levels. Convert your local ranking system if necessary.

Complete the column labeled "Rank Code" using the following codes. Please supply a code for all individuals reported; there should be no blank cells in this column.

o An individual who is outside the normal library rank structure.

9 Rank unknown; or, there is confusion or controversy regarding how to code this individual's rank.

I Lowest level in the rank structure.

2 Next highest level in the rank structure.

3-8 Successively higher levels in the rank structure. The highest number in this range should be equivalent to the highest rank in the library's rank structure, as indicated in Question 2 of the Summary Data sheet.

When counting the total number of rank levels, include ranks that may be unoccupied at the present time due to circumstances like unusually high turnover, hiring freezes, etc.

11. Percent. Change the 100% appointment to less than that only for part-time people. Enter percent with decimal points. For example, a 65% appointment would be entered as .65.

12. Problem Job Category/Describe. Identify the position title and note the specific responsibilities that make it a problem to provide one of the currently listed position codes.

ARL ANNUAL SALARY SURVEY 1997-98 NONUNIVERSITY LIBRARY QUESTIONNAIRE

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

I. This survey is concerned with the salaries of professional positions only. Since the criteria for determining

professional status vary among libraries, there is no attempt to define the term "professional." Each library should

report the salaries of those staff members it considers professionals, irrespective of membership in a collective

bargaining unit, and including, when appropriate, staff who are not librarians in the strict sense of the term, such as systems analysts, budget officers, etc.

2. Salaries should be reported for all filled positions. Vacant positions should be excluded from your report.

3. Report 1997-98 salaries as tlley exist on July I, 1997. If the library normally increases salaries at a date after July I,

and the salary as of that later date is known or can be estimated (within $100 or so) by the time the questionnaire is due to be returned, please use the higher salary and footnote the effective date and/or whether the reported figures are known or estimated. Please do not hold up the reporting process for later salaD' adjustments.

4. The Median Salary is the salary that has an equal number of salaries above it and below it. In those libraries with an

even number of positions, the median salary is the average of the two salaries that have an equal number of salaries above and below them.

5. The Beginning Professional Salary is the salary that would be paid to a professional without experience, not

necessarily the lowest professional salary paid. In reporting the beginning salary, please use a figure that is actually used or likely to be used for entry-level librarians hired by your library.

6. Salaries should be reported for both full-time and part-time professional positions. However, salaries for part-time positions should be converted to their full-time equivalents before reporting; do not report the actual part-time salary

paid.

7. Salaries should normally be reported on a 12-month basis. If an appointment is for 9 or 10 months at the option of the

employee, the actual salary paid should be increased to its 12-month equivalent. However, if appointments of less

than 12 months are required by the employer, report the actual salary paid.

8. The salaries for all professional positions should be included, regardless of whether the salaries come from regular

libnuy budget funds or from special funds such as research grants.

9. The salary figures should be straight gross salary figures. Do not include fringe benefits.

10. Explanatory footnotes to the reported figures may be provided when necessary. Footnotes will be included in the

published survey. (If you had footnotes in 1996-97, a copy is provided with this mailing for your reference.)

II. Be sure to fill in the name of the reporting libralY and the name of the person who prepares the report.

12. Please return the questionnaire to the ARL Statistics and Measurement Program Office by August 31,1997.
