ACRL News Issue (B) of College & Research Libraries 350 ACRL to Conduct Salary Survey The Association of College and Research L i braries will conduct a survey of compensation structures of librarians in post-secondary edu cation for the academic year 1975/76. The survey, supported by a grant from the Council on Library Resources, will be conducted by Richard J. Talbot, director of libraries, Univer sity of Massachusetts, Amherst, a member of ACRL’s Committee on Academic Status and Ann von der Lippe also of the University of Massachusetts. The survey is designed to collect valid and reliable data on the salaries and fringe benefits of librarians working in college and university libraries in order to update the third survey (1972/73) on salaries prepared by Donald F. Cameron and Peggy Heim for the Council on Library Resources and to enable comparisons of the compensation structures of academic li brarians and faculty members and comparisons among academic librarians. Questions to be addressed by the survey will be: ( 1 ) How much improvement has occurred in the economic status of librarians since the 1972/73 survey? ( 2 ) How do salaries and rates of compensation of academic librarians compare with those of the classroom faculty? Data will also be collected on the numbers of women and minorities employed in academic libraries and their rates of compensation. Questionnaires will be mailed on December 1 to all academic libraries in institutions partici pating in the surveys of compensation conduct ed by the American Association of University Professors. Preliminary reports of the findings will be available in July 1976. The final report will be published in October 1976. A limited supply of copies of previous sur veys (1969/70, 1970/71, 1972/73) are still available from the Council on Library Re sources, Inc., One Dupont Circle, NW, Suite 620, Washington, DC 20036. ■■ Tentative Schedule of ACRL Meetings at Midwinter This schedule lists only those ACRL meet ings scheduled as of October 10, 1975.
