112 University Library Questionnaire and Instructions ASSOCIATION OF RESEARCH LIBRARIES 1 ARL ANNUAL SALARY SURVEY 2015-2016 University Library Questionnaire GENERAL AND DATA INPUT (CSV) INSTRUCTIONS http://www.arlstatistics.org/About/Mailings/ss_2015-16 GENERAL OVERVIEW Important Initial Information Please complete the online questionnaire by August 31, 2015. Be sure to keep a complete copy of your submission, including the electronic version of the data for your files. We are collecting the salary data through the http://arlstatistics.org interface. If you experience difficulty uploading your CSV files or completing your submission online, please email stats@arl.org or call the office at 202-296-2296 for assistance. 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 CSV files using the CSV Template at http://www.arlstatistics.org/About/Mailings/ss_2015-16. Add your institution’s ARL Library Institution Code [LibID] to the template. (See http://www.arlstatistics.org/about/instno if you do not know your institution code.) We are using online validation like we did last year. The online validation requires that Part II of your submission, the Excel spreadsheet portion, be in CSV format. Your online submission will be successful only if the spreadsheet is in CSV format. 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.
