ALA-APA Library Salary Survey deadline extended

CHICAGO – ALA-APA: the Organization for the Advancement of Library Employees has extended its deadline to Monday, April 30, 2007, for completion of its Web-based Library Salary Survey. Almost 4,000 public and academic libraries were asked to participate in the 2007 ALA-APA Library Salary Survey. Increased responses will help ensure the most valid data set.

This year, the Librarian and Non-MLS Salary Surveys are combined.

Postcards have been sent addressed to the attention of the Library Director or Human Resources Manager. All responding libraries will be entered into a drawing for free print copies of the salary survey or free annual subscriptions to the Library Salary Database. All participants receive a discount on the printed version.

If you would like to know if your library was within the sample, please call the Management Association of Illinois at 800-448-4584 and ask for Jeanne Hannon or Kristy Williams. If you have any other questions, please contact the ALA-APA Office at 800-545-2433, x2424 or jgrady@ala.org.
