Footnotes to the ARL Annual Salary Survey, 2011–2012 · 113 The average salary for those in rank 1 is higher than rank 2. Those in rank 1 are library supervisors, who supervise anywhere from 5-12 people, participate in many of the same committees and activities as professional librarians, but they are not professional librarians. While they occupy the same classification as Librarian 1s within our institutional structure, we have traditionally ranked them for purposes of the survey as the beginning rank since these positions were initially created, many years ago, as promotional opportunities for high level support staff, many of whom were pursuing library degrees. However, some have opted to stay in those positions for their career so their salaries have increased as a result of longevity.
