1 Chapter 1 : Library and Book Trade Almanac - Google Books The Bowker annual: library and book trade almanac, The Bowker annual: library and book trade almanac, by Bogart, Digitizing sponsor Internet Archive. Copyright Information Today, Inc. Surveys of libraries of all types show similar results--funding is "strained," staffing figures are flat, library "use" is rising, materials acquisition costs continue to rise, and materials acquisitions in counts are flat. We know that public libraries have been struggling with the question of filtering on public and staff computers, with decisions by governing boards determining whether a library receives federal funding for many technology-related purchases and services. We also know that school librarians and their support staff have lost jobs because of economic downturns, may not be rehired, or may be replaced with volunteers--this despite research that correlates student performance with the presence of a library and professional staffing. Achievements and Concerns Digital Virtual Reference Digital virtual reference VR projects have sprouted all over the country and are no longer limited to larger libraries, cooperatives, or statewide initiatives. Effective analysis is being conducted at state libraries, by statewide VR programs, and by research libraries. Early figures indicate very high levels of accuracy in reference interactions. The results of evaluation and assessment of VR are expected to appear more prominently in the literature in Journal Pricing Academic libraries continue to feel the journal-pricing pinch and unlikely voices are being heard on this topic--from the editorial boards of scientific journals. The resignation of the entire editorial board of the Journal of Algorithms on December 31,, was reported by both the Chronicle of Higher Education and Library Journal. It was further reported in ARL Bimonthly Report August that its members spent, on average, 26 percent of materials budgets on electronic collections in and that electronic journals represented 92 percent of that expenditure. ARL further reported that journal pricing increased for its members by percent between and It very likely will not be long before this proportion increases as humanities titles go the way of science, technology, and medicine titles. Total expenditures on library materials represented 40 percent of total operating budgets in for ARL libraries. But although enrollment figures are rising, it is not entirely clear whether the graduates are finding employment in libraries. This is a two-year research study on the future of librarians in the work force and began in fall Publication Delays Research relevant--even critical--to decision making and planning continues to be delayed years before publication, leaving us wondering about other mechanisms for getting this valuable information out to the library community. The American Library Association ALA has reported publication delays of as much as two years; scholarly publications cite even longer gaps. Some groups are investigating leveraging institutes, conferences, and other public forums more effectively as venues for presenting research findings and compensing for the publication delays. Unfortunately, if these forums do not publish their proceedings, the attempt may not result in a solution to the publication-pipeline clogs. Deaths During The library research community saw the loss of many in Lipow, who died September 9, was founder and director of Library Solutions Institute and Press and a long-time trainer and advocate of innovative reference techniques including digital virtual reference. For more information about her contributions, visit http: He is best known for his books on reference sources and services, including the two-volume Introduction to Reference Work. For more information, visit http: The study revealed that of the 1, total respondents to the survey including special library respondents,, or 17 percent, indicated that they plan to retire in the next five years. Nearly three quarters 71 percent of librarians who reported planning to retire within five years were 55 or older. Remaining librarian retirees were between 45 and percent and none were younger than Of these, 47 percent were in school libraries. This study provides a wealth of information about why individuals did not pursue credentialed library careers, whether a poor economy has affected career plans, and many other factors. Not surprising was that 66 percent of those responding indicated that low salaries kept them from pursuing an MLS degree. This report updates a March study analyzing the profession using the census as the base and looking at occupational groups. This study Page 1
2 also confirms the Colorado finding that many librarians come to the profession as a second career choice. Salary Survey ALA continues its annual salary survey. The survey is a random stratified sample of university, college, two-year academic, and public libraries throughout the United States. All public libraries serving populations of, or more are included each year. The findings show a modest increase 2. The most significant improvement was for beginning librarians, with an increase of 7. More information about the study is available at http: Supplemental questions about position titles were also included in the survey and will be used to develop and conduct a support staff salary survey in Summary Report September The project used standard models of economic values, notably the model developed by Regional Economic Models and the Contingent Valuation Method. Some interesting findings from the study: Additional information about the project and a copy of the final report are available at http: King, Ann Okerson, and Roger C. Schonfeld titled "The Nonsubscription Side of Periodicals: The research team surveyed 11 academic libraries--four small, three medium, and four large--during the first half of and recommend formulas for determining life-cycle values for print and electronic titles. The report is available for purchase, and can be accesssed online at http: Aca demic Libraries The academic library research agenda seemed to be less focused in than in the previous year. The three most significant areas of research were funding and expenditures, electronic services, and marketing. The book summarizes the results of a marketing and public relations survey with responses from more than college libraries. The survey determined that although The findings further indicate that for those libraries developing marketing materials and so forth, the majority of staff assigned to these activities had no prior experience in the area, nor had they been trained in communications, marketing, or public relations. The report includes samples of marketing and public relations materials to assist libraries in planning efforts, as well as a selected bibliography. More information about the report is at http: ARL Upgrades Survey ARL decided to include questions on electronic resources metrics and emerging digital library operations in the supplement of its base survey beginning in July This is the first "universe" survey--one that surveys all possible respondents--to formally incorporate electronic metrics. Although the National Center for Education Statistics NCES has introduced electronic metrics into its surveys of public, state, and academic libraries, reporting those data has been problematic. More information about this change is available at http: With 54 percent of members responding, the current data indicate that Web-based forms are the predominant method for administering surveys. Released in August, the report focuses on organizational and staffing issues. The survey gathered information about staff training, processing activities, and use of committees or teams to manage electronic resources. Of the ARL member libraries responding, 87 percent reported making personnel or organizational changes to accommodate processing and management of electronic resources, especially in the area of cross-functional personnel changes. More than libraries in seven countries have used the tool since the pilot project began in For more information, see http: This tool will add further value to the data collected by ARL member libraries by providing a mechanism for creating categories for analysis. The survey collected several new items in, including the question "Is the library collection entirely electronic? It also added a new section on information literacy. NCES continues to experience delays in getting reported data back out to the library community. The Office of Management and Budget OMB instituted new requirements that have delayed the release of the final data and report. In addition, NCES has new standards that add another layer of review before final data and reports can be released. The good news is that data are released to the Peer Tools as soon after submission and preliminary editing as possible. Molyneux, director, Statistics and Surveys, at the U. Public Libraries in the United States, a Statistical Portrait analyzed data sets from to and ranked states against 20 characteristics for the period To review the data files and ranking tables, see http: Deep Web Kathleen R. Murray and William E. Moen report on deep Web searching improvements and apply them to the Library of Texas project. Their article, The Deep Web: The concept of data mining, or deep searching, is not new to the library information field. Of particular interest in this research is the use of Web log analysis to understand user behavior while in a meta search tool. This time it is with a National Leadership Grant from IMLS to develop an E-Metrics Instructional System EMIS, a Web-based, interactive instructional system Page 2
3 designed to help librarians understand selected e-metrics, how to collect these e-metrics, and how to use these e-metrics for decision making and communication purposes especially to external stakeholder groups. The step-by-step training modules include a "how-to" section and a range of e-metrics such as virtual reference and user training. Of special note is an interactive annual report tool developed by a consultant to the project, Joe Ryan. John Carlo Bertot and Charles R. McClure direct the project. Additional information is available at http: Kinikin studied current patron use of library branches and demographic characteristics of income and ethnicity. The study revealed that a majority 61 percent of Weber County Library System patrons resided within a three-mile radius of a branch. Although some registered borrowers could not be plotted because of such factors as having a post office box address, the study helped library staff understand patron income and ethnicity so that collections and services could be more accurately targeted by branch. Gates Foundation Studies The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation continues its work to improve access to technology in public libraries and to assess the impact of its philanthropy. Among the studies released in was a report titled Toward Equality of Access: The report found that public libraries have helped narrow the digital divide by providing free public access to computers and the Internet, and that there continue to be disparities in Internet use. Reported in this study were data from the U. Department of Commerce from noting disparities by race, age, and income level. The report provides a useful overview of the policy issues, pulling together information from a variety of studies. The report is available at http: The Gates Foundation also launched an impact study with the Information Use Management and Policy Institute at Florida State University to look at status and impact of public access computers in public libraries.

Share This Page Since its inception in, the Library Materials Price Index LMPI has been providing librarians with valuable, reliable sources of data to assist them in the creation and development of library materials budgets. The first price indices were published in the Library Journal in Following their initial appearance, the price indices were published in The Bowker Annual by R. This publication was renamed The Library and Book Trade Almanac with the publication of the 53rd edition. The Almanac, as it is often referred to, is currently published by Information Today, Inc. A total of 14 indexes have been established and are contained in the article as follows: College Books Table 5, U. Audiobooks Table 7A, U. The price data is compiled into indices and an article summarizing the current price trends by the compilers who make up the members of the Library Materials Price Index Editorial Board. The base year for each index is established based on the first year of reliable data available from each data source. The base year for the current indices has changed over time due to modifications of the data by the companies providing the data or a change in data source. One such significant change is the newly reestablished Table 1: This index has been reestablished containing a mix of both online and print serials prices with a title list of more than 5, titles in comparison with the previous list which only covered the print prices of approximately 3, titles. Changes in serials titles due to ceased publication, mergers, package titles, direct orders and publications delays are some of the reasons that made the reestablishment of this table so difficult. It is also the reason that librarians using data from these indices should rely on the data, and associated past data, from the most recent indices as comparisons with past tables may not be possible due to changes in data sources. Each index compiler discusses the trends he or she sees in the field of publication contained in the indices they create and note any possible future trends. Of special mention, is the addition of indices containing pricing breakdowns for electronic books, both academic Table 4A as well as mass market Table 7B. The disparity in e-book prices between institutional and individual cost becomes very apparent when reviewing these tables, i. Another index of high interest has been the North American Academic Text Book index Table 4B which has tracked changes in this market since The average prices of text books are above the cost of other types of academic texts and they continue to be on the rise. While indices have been added and updated to reflect current trends, indices have also ceased and have been removed from the article when it was apparent that sufficient data to compile the index was no longer available. The price indices are essential tools in these days of extremely strapped budgets. They can provide the data needed to justify budget increases and requests for supplemental funds to academic administrations and library boards. A cost comparison analysis of serials inflation or the rising cost of books can be a strong argument against budget cuts, or at the very least, for budgets to remain the same.
