Stangl, Peter Hoke, William Neff Librarians Library Expenditures Library Surveys Medical Libraries Medical Schools Salaries Salary Wage Differentials Surveys Prime objectives of the survery were to: (1) relate age, sex, geographical area, status within the institution, educational level, etc. to salary received, (2) provide timely data on salaries, and (3) test feasibility of applying similar survey techniques for the entire Medical Library Association membership. Questionnaire forms were designed: one to obtain information regarding library personnel policies, administrative structure, and compensation structure (sent to directors of 114 U.S. and 16 Canadia medical school libraries with 119 replies received); the other to be completed by individual librarians and administrators (878 replied) regarding personal data, educational background, professional experience, present level of responsibility, and salary. Data obtained were reduced and analyzed using standard coding sheets and Stanford Center for Information Processing's IBM 370-168 computer. SPSS system files were created. Results are discussed and tabulated in categories of organizational structure of the library, geographic area, administrative responsibility, sex and minority status, academic level, and others. The appendices contain all tables, variable charts, and sample questionnaire forms. (JAB)
