(Submission Instructions begin on the last page of this document.)  This survey is concerned with professional positions only. Since the criteria for determining professional status vary among libraries, there is no attempt to define the term “professional.” Each library should report the salaries of those staff members it considers professionals, irrespective of faculty status or membership in a collective bargaining unit, including, when appropriate, staff who are not librarians in the strict sense of the term, such as computer experts, systems analysts, budget officers, etc.  Report individual salaries for the Main, Law, and Medical library on separate excel templates using Microsoft Excel (see http://www.arlstatistics.org/About/Mailings/ss_2012- 13). A generic template is available. Add your institution’s ARL Library Institution Code [LibID]. (See http://www.arl.org/stats/annualsurveys/surveycoord/instno_inam.shtml if you do not know your code.)  Use “Percent” to determine if an employee works full-time or part-time. All full-time employees have Percent =1.00, i.e., they work 100% of a full-time schedule. If Percent is less than 1.00, then the employee works that fraction of a full-time schedule. For example, a 65% time appointment would be entered as 0.65. Calculate the percent appointment by dividing the amount of time an employee works by the amount considered to be the norm for full-time employment at your institution. For example, if a full-time appointment at your institution is 12 months at 40 hours per week: o A 9-month part-time appointment has Percent =9/12, or 0.75. o An appointment at 30 hours per week has Percent =30/40, also 0.75. o An appointment at 30 hours and 9 months has Percent =0.75 x 0.75 =0.56. o Enter Percent with two decimal points.
