INTRODUCTIONThe ARL Annual Salary Survey 1999-2000 reports salary data for all professionalstaff working in ARL libraries. The Association of Research Libraries (ARL) representsthe interests of 121 libraries that serve major North American research institutions. 1The Association operates as a forum for the exchange of ideas and as an agent forcollective action to influence forces affecting the ability of these libraries to meet thefuture needs of scholarship. The ARL Statistics and Measurement program, whichproduces the salary survey, is organized around collecting, analyzing, and distributingquantifiable information describing the characteristics of research libraries. The ARLAnnual Salary Survey is the most comprehensive and thorough guide to current salariesin large U.S. and Canadian academic and research libraries, and is a valuablemanagement and research tool.Data for 8,595 professional staff members were reported this year for the 111ARL university libraries, including their law and medical libraries (814 staff membersreported by 69 medical libraries and 660 staff members reported by 72 law libraries).For the 10 nonuniversity ARL members, data were reported for 3,737 professional staffmembers.This year's publication has been re-organized to include four new tables andprovide a separate U.S. section. All the tables published in prior years are alsoincluded, but some renumbering had to be done to accommodate the addition of fournew tables. A detailed appendix mapping this year's table-numbering scheme inrelation to last year's is included at the end of the book.The tables are organized in seven major sections. The first section includesTables 1 through 4 which report salary figures for all professionals working in ARLmember libraries, including law and medical library data. The second section includessalary information for the 10 nonuniversity research libraries of ARL. The third section,entitled" ARL University Libraries" reports data in Tables 7 through 25 for the"general" library system of the university ARL members, combining U.s. and Canadiandata but excluding law and medical data. The fourth section, composed of Tables 26through 30, reports data on U.S. ARL university library members excluding law andmedical data; the fifth section, Tables 31-34, reports data on Canadian ARL universitylibraries in Canadian dollars excluding law and medical data. The sixth section, Tables35-41, reports data on medical libraries, and the seventh section, Tables 42-48, reportson law libraries combining U.S. and Canadian data.1 George Washington University became an ARt member in 1998 and this year, its salaty survey data are included in thepublication for the first time. Linda Hall is not a member of ARL, as of 2000, and is not included in this year's publication.11
The university population is generally treated in three distinct groups: staff inthe" general" library system, staff in the university medical libraries, and staff in theuniversity law libraries. All branch libraries for which data were received, other thanlaw and medical, are included in the" general" category, whether or not those librariesare administratively independent. Footnotes for many institutions provide informationon branch inclusion or exclusion.Most tables show Canadian salaries converted into U.s. dollar equivalents at therate of 1.5103 Canadian dollars per U.S. dollar. 2 Tables 4, and 31 through 34, however,pertain exclusively to staff in Canadian university libraries, so salary data in thosetables are expressed in Canadian dollars.RACE AND ETHNIClTYThere were 893 minority professional staff reported in 98 U.s. ARL universitylibraries, including law and medical - 39 more than last year,3 the largest increase inthe number of minority professionals in recent years. Note that the data for minorityprofessionals comes only from the U.S. ARL university libraries following the EqualEmployment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) definitions; Canadian law prohibits theidentification of Canadians by ethnic category.The Office of Management and Budget has revised the Standards for theClassification of Federal Data on Race and Ethnicity4 and according to the new standardthere will be five minimum categories for data on race (American Indian or AlaskaNative, Asian, Black or African American, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander,and White) and two categories for data on ethnicity ("Hispanic or Latino" and "NotHispanic or Latino"). Respondents will be able to report more than one race bychoosing multiple categories in response to the race question; repondents also will beable to choose the ethnicity category "Hispanic or Latino" and choose one or more racecategories. The new standards will be used by the Bureau of the Census in the 2000decennial census. Other Federal programs will adopt the standards as soon as possible,but not later than 1 January 2003, for use in household surveys, administrative formsand records, and other data collections. In light of these developments, the ARL AnnualSalary Survey collected optional data based on these new definitions for the first timethis year.2 This is the average monthly noon exchange rate published in the Bank of Canada Review for the period July 1998-June 1999.3 Tcn ofthcsc 39 arc from the new ARL member library.4 12
