- Staffing Patterns in Pennsylvania's Private College Libraries: Survey Results. Mech, Terrence Academic Libraries Higher Education Library Administration Library Automation Library Personnel Library Research Library Services Library Statistics Library Surveys Library Technical Processes Private Colleges Questionnaires Staff Utilization The major purpose of this brief descriptive study was to determine the levels of professional and support staffing within the administrative, technical, public, and media services areas of Pennsylvania's private college libraries. The study also includes comparative data on student assistant staffing. Questionnaires were mailed to library directors of 60 private colleges in Pennsylvania. Colleges surveyed were private, Middle States accredited institutions designated as II A (diverse post-baccalaureate programs, but no significant doctorate level programs) and II B (baccalaureate institutions) according to the American Association of University Professors' rating scale. The questionnaire was a modified version of the Council of Independent Colleges' Library Cost and Services Module, Data Collection Instrument. Usable responses were received from 35 colleges (58%), including both colleges with national reputations and less prestigious colleges with limited resources. Findings are reported in the areas of staff composition and distribution, student assistants, automation, and other factors. Comparisons are also made with "The Standards for College Libraries" and the results of a survey of Pennsylvania's state college libraries. A copy of the questionnaire is included. (Author/THC)
