| contents | Community Colleges in Florida: A Comparison of Library Resources. Kazlauskas, Diane W. College Libraries Community Colleges Comparative Analysis Enrollment Library Collections Library Expenditures Library Materials Library Personnel Library Statistics State Surveys Two Year Colleges A survey was conducted to examine staffing, budgets, and collection size at the libraries of Florida's 28 community colleges. Though the survey achieved a 100% response rate, not every college responded to all questions. Inconsistencies in the ways in which and the periods for which data were collected made comparisons difficult. These limitations not withstanding, findings included the following: (1) enrollment ranged from 302 at Florida Keys Community College to 34,365 at Miami-Dade Community College (MDCC); (2) MDCC reported a 99-member library staff, including 35 librarians; (3) book budgets ranged from $9,584 at Lake City Community College to $128,580 at Pensacola Junior College, with three colleges reporting book budgets of over $100,000; (4) book holdings ranged from 6,500 at Daytona Beach Community College to 340,283 for all MDCC campuses; (5) the number of periodical subscriptions ranged from 165 at North Florida Junior College to 2,343 at MDCC; (6) Edison Community College seemed to have the most library resources of any single-campus college; and (7) though data were not standardized, 11 of the college libraries had below 11.4 books in their collection per enrolled student. A 12-item bibliography and appendixes detailing survey responses are provided. (AJL) |
