Steps to Calculate Need for New Public Librarians (MLS)
• Estimate disposition of current librarians– Convert FTE (NCES) to headcount– Establish current age and gender– Subtract expected number who die or
become ill– Subtract expected number who will retire– Do not include those who go to another
library– Subtract expected number who leave for
other reasons– Add expected number who had left but come
back– Advance the librarian’s age each year– Recalculate the disposition for each year
