<h2>Libraries nationwide receiving ALA-APA Library Salary Survey
Invitation<o:p></o:p></h2>
<p>CHICAGO – Library directors and human Resources staff, check your
mail. Almost 4,000 public and academic libraries are being asked to
participate in the 2009 ALA-APA <i>Librarian Salary Survey</i>. This
year, the survey asks for salary data for six librarian titles. The
deadline is Friday, Feb. 27, for completing the web-based survey.
Survey
letters with instructions are addressed to the attention of the library
director or human resources manager and are in envelopes with the ALA
logo. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>In order to thank participants, all responding institutions that
provide
contact information will be given 30-day access to the ALA-APA <em>Library
Salary Database</em> –<br>

- as well as a discount on the printed survey. The public and academic
libraries receiving the letter are part of a scientifically selected
sample,
chosen to reflect the variety of sizes of libraries as well as to
ensure that
the sample will be statistically significant for state salary data
reporting. It is very important that all who are asked to participate
respond so that the surveys provide the highest quality information to
managers
who set and benchmark salaries and for librarians who are in the
process of
evaluating their career prospects. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>ALA has collected and published salary information on librarians
with
ALA-accredited master’s degrees since 1982. ALA-APA continues to
consult with the ALA Office for Research and Statistics to conduct the
survey,
which reports data for five public library sizes and three academic
library
types by region and state. This year’s supplemental questions
ask about the impact of the economy on library services and recruiting.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>If you have any questions, please contact the ALA-APA Office at
800-545-2433, ext.2424 or e-mail <a moz-do-not-send="true"

<p>ALA-APA: the Organization for the Advancement of Library Employees

efforts.<o:p></o:p></p>
