TO THE DIRECTOR OF LIBRARIES:

As a part of its continuous effort to maximize the timeliness and utility of its surveys, the National Center for Education Statistics applied additional resources this year to the survey of college and university libraries, and is able to disseminate an early release of selected data itema, based on the data for the 2,817 institutions for which forms were received by December 5, 1975 (95 percent of the universe of 2,963 academic libraries). We are pleased to be able to supply you with the attached summary tables of 16 selected data itemsr by control and type of institution, aggregate United States, and by State, at this time. These summaries are estimates that include imputed data for 146 institutions.

For all institutions of higher education, the total expenditures for libraries increased at an average annual rate of only 5 percent, from 1972-73 to 1974-75. This is considerably less than the previous average annual rates of increase of from 12 to 15 percent, for the years from 1967-68 to 1970-71. The expenditures for salaries and wages increased at an average annual rate of 8 percent, compared to the average annual rates of 14 to 16 percent for the previous years. It is interesting to note that the expenditures for books and microforms increased at an average annual rate of only 1.4 percent from 1972-73 to 1974-75 (although the cost of books increased 4 percent per year), when expenditures for books and microforms increased at an average annual rate of from 8 to 13 percent from 1967-68 to 1970-71. During the same period (1972-73 to 1974-75) the expenditures for periodical subscriptions increased at an average annual rate of 18 percent, which was in line with the 17 percent average annual increase in the cost of periodicals for these years.

The total staff of the college and university libraries increased at In average annual rate of 1.3 percent (from fall 1973 to fall 1975), compared to previous average annual increases of 4 percent (from fall 1968 to fall 1971). During the past two years clerical and other staff members of the libraries increased at an average annual rate of 2.4 percent, compared to the average annual rate of increase of 4 percent for previous years. During the same period the number of librarians increased at an average annual rate of 1.5 percent. However, professional staff other than librarians decreased at an average annual rate of 9 percent from fall 1973 to fall 1975.

Page 2 TO THE DIRECTOR OF LIBRARIES

With respect to holdings, the number of volumes of books held at the end of the year increased at an average annual rate of 4 percent, as did periodical subscriptions, from 1972-73 to 1974-75, compared to the average annual rate of increase of from 6 to 8 percent for books, and from 5 to 18 percent for periodical subscriptions, for the years from 1967-68 to 1970-71.

The data in this report will undoubtedly be slightly modified after careful editing and tabulation of a type thit is not possible in such an early release.

Totals in the enclosed tables have not been rounded but are given as they were obtained by simple addition of the figures for individual institutions. The presentation in no way implies that totals and subtotals are accurate to the last few digits.

Additional information from this survey is available in computer tape. The data on the computer tape will also be incorportated into the EDSTAT online educational information access system operated by NCES.This system can be entered through modestly priced keyboard terminals anywhere in the United States. Data by institution for 1974 and 1975 may be 'compared with those for previous years and related to financial, institutional, and degree-grantifig characteristics.

Inquiries for tapes, online access, or printouts should be addressed to EDSTAT, National Center for Education Statistics, 400 Maryland Avenue, S.W., Room 3051, Washington, D.C. 20202.

The data for this survey were prepared under the direction of Stanley V. Smith, survey director; further questions may be referred to him.

We would be pleased to receive your comments on this early release of preliminary data, particularly with respect to how useful it may be to you.

Sincerely,

Fr cis . Nassett Acting Administrator

ACES has just completed the processing of the data acquired in the 1974 survey of public libraries. Aware that the publication may yet be several months away, and that data on these libraries were last acquired in 1968, ACES has prepared a number of special tabulations of selected data from this survey.

Three special tabulations are being sent to you (enclosed) for your information.These are tables of national aggregate data: Table 1 shows library operating expenditures for salaries and wages, books, periodicals, microforms, audiovisual materials, plant operation and capital expenditures; Table 2 presents figures for circulation, interlibrary loans, and library resources; and Table 3 gives data on nuMbers of library staff.

These preliminary data for the fifty States and the District of Columbia, based on a sample of 11460 libraries from a universe of 8307 libraries, indicate that:

1. Total expenditures for public libraries in 1974 were S1,114,000,000. Of this total, 52.8% was for salaries and wages, 12.4% for books, 1.2% for periodicals, 0.2% for microforms, 1.0% for audiovisual materials, 9.6% for plant operation and maintenance, and 8.5% for capital outlay.

2. Direct circulations of all library materials embraced 893,000,000 items. Of the 388,000,000 books held at the end of the year 7.1% were new acquisitions.Public libraries now hold 1,180,000 periodical subscription titles and 8,310,000 titles of audiovisual materials.

3. Of the total public library staff (FTE) of 86,000 persons 142.0% are librarians, media/audiovisual specialists and other professionals; 50.6% are technical, clerical and other staff; and 7.4% are plant operation and main tenance staff. Page 2 - Library Director

Data have been rounded in the above totals,. and presentation in no way implies that totals are accurate to the last few digits.

These data were prepared under the direction of Helen M. Eckard, Survey Director; questions may be referred to hen After the final processing and tabulation of the data, a detailed report on the survey will be published.

It is hoped that this early release will be useful to library planners, managers and researchers.We would be pleased to receive your comments.

To: School Media Personnel

The 1974 Library General Information Survey (LIBGIS I), conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics, has acquired national data on school libraries and media centers for the first time in 12 years. In view of the long period without renewed information and in response to frequent requests, NCES has prepared two special tabulations, attached, from the 1974 survey.

These are national estimates determined from the responses of 3500 schools randomly selected frqm a universe of 89,000 public elementary and secondary schools. Figures may not equal table totals because of rounding.

Stiff and pupil data are for the fall of 1974, while expenditure and other data are for school year 1973-74. The 74,600 schools with library/media centers reported library expenditures totaling $1,182,000,000 of which 69 percent was for salaries and 14 percent was for books, 2 percent for periodicals and 6 percent for audiovisual materials. Forty-four million pupils had access to 507 million books and periodicals in public schools under the supervision of certified library staff consisting of 55,000 women and 7,000 men.A more comprehensive statistical report is planned for publication in the near future.

It is hoped that this release will be useful to library planners, managers and researchers.We will be pleased to receive your comments.
