<h2><em>Librarian Salary Survey</em><strong> reports mean librarian
salary
$58,860, median $54,500 in 2009</strong><o:p></o:p></h2>
<p>CHICAGO - Results from the 2009 edition of the “<em><span
style="font-style: normal;">ALA-APA Salary Survey: Librarian - Public
and
Academic</span></em>” are available in two ways – immediately for
subscribers to the <em><a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.ala.org/cfapps/salarysurvey/salarysurveyform/form.cfm">ALA-APA
Library Salary Database</a></em> and in print from the American Library
Association (ALA) <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.alastore.ala.org/">online store</a>.
Analysis of data from more than 1,179 public and academic libraries
showed
the mean salary for librarians with ALA-accredited master’s degrees
reported decreased less than 1 percent from 2008, down $100 to
$58,860.
The median ALA MLS salary was $54,500, 2 percent higher than in 2008,
and
salaries ranged from $22,000 to $256,800. ALA-APA thanks all the
library
staff who completed the survey on behalf of their institutions and
state data
coordinators and ALA state chapter Councilors who alerted libraries.<br>
<br>
Published by the American Library Association-Allied Professional
Association
(ALA-APA) in cooperation with the ALA Office for Research and
Statistics, the
survey shows aggregated data from more than 17,018 (a 5 percent
increase over
2008) individual salaries of ALA MLS librarians. The six librarian
positions
are directors/deans, associate/assistant directors, department heads,
managers
of support staff, librarians who do not supervise and beginning
librarians.
<br>
<br>
The 2009 response rate of libraries participating was 33 percent, an
improvement of four points over 2008. Almost 3,600 libraries were in
the
sample asked to respond. Responding libraries this year received a
30-day subscription to the “<em><span style="font-style: normal;">Library
Salary Database</span></em>” and a 25-percent discount off the print
edition. The “<em><span style="font-style: normal;">Library Salary
Database</span></em>” includes data from 2006 to the present for more
than 60 librarian and non-MLS positions, which can be searched by
state, eight
library types and four regions. The survey gives national-level mean
and
quartile data. The printed reports include analysis of salary trends
and an
extensive appendix of other sources of compensation data within and
outside of
the library profession. <br>
<br>
The “<em><span style="font-style: normal;">Librarian Salary Survey</span></em>”
continues more than 25 years of collecting and reporting salary data
for six
positions requiring an ALA-accredited master's degree in library
science.
The survey was completed with consultation from Denise M. Davis,
director
of the ALA Office for Research and Statistics and conducted by The
Management
Association of Illinois. <br>
<br>
