Notes on Completing the Tables

Specific instructions for completing each table are located with the table. If questions arise please don’t hesitate to contact Jerry D. Saye by email or telephone.

Schools that have more than one program of study (e.g., two separate master's programs) are asked to report on each of the ALA-accredited programs separately but aggregate the students in other non-accredited program(s) of study under Other Master's. This reporting of the ALA-accredited programs separately is a change from the way these data were collected in previous years.

If your school offers a particular program of study but no students are enrolled in the program (or none graduated for Table II-3), please report “0” rather than leaving the cells blank. If you offer a program but the data requested are not available, please report “-----“ in the relevant cells of the table.

Because of the differences in programs among the various schools of library and information science, you are encouraged to include explanatory comments for any of the tables. Comments, where possible subject to editing, will be included in the final report with the table to which they refer.

Please note that for the final report totals will be forced. That is, the values entered in the body of the table will be considered correct and these internal values will be used to total the table. Please check your responses for arithmetic accuracy and cross-check your values with those entered in related tables, as noted later in the instructions.

Of the TOTAL FTE, indicate the number of FTE students off campus:

Formula used for FTE calculations:

Table II-1 collects data on full-time and part-time enrollment, both head count and FTE, total head count and FTE data, as well as the distribution by gender of these students, for each program level.

Please report data for students officially enrolled in Fall 1999.

To report the number of students enrolled in each program, use your parent institution's method for computing student full-time equivalence (FTE). If such a formula is not available, use the following: Consider a student full-time if the course load will enable requirements for the degree to be completed within the normal length of time. For example, if the normal time to complete the degree is 12 courses in 4 quarters, a student carrying 3 courses during the quarter should be counted as 1.00 FTE; a student carrying 2 courses during the quarter should be counted as 0.67 FTE (2/3 = .067). Students carrying an overload should be counted as only 1.00 FTE. In the space below, continue on the back if necessary, please supply the formula you used to compute the FTE. If the FTE formula is differs by program level please give each formula used and the program level with which it is associated.

* Definitions for each program category are given on p. 3.

Program Definitions^[1]

Bachelor's: Include here only those students who are working toward a bachelor's degree in library and information science, regardless of whether offered on or off campus. Do not include students taking courses as cognate or service courses. Report them as “Other Undergraduate.”

ALA-Accredited Master's -- Library Science: Include here only those students working towards a separate master's degree in library science or a combined library and information science degree accredited by ALA, regardless of whether offered on or off campus. Do not include students taking courses as cognate or service courses. Report them as “Other Graduate.”

ALA-Accredited Master's -- Information Science: Include here only those students working towards a separate master's degree in information science accredited by ALA, regardless of whether offered on or off campus. Students workings towards an information science degree not accredited by ALA should be reported as “Other Master’s.” Do not include students taking courses as cognate or service courses. Report them as “Other Graduate.”

Other Master’s: Include here those students working towards a master's degree not accredited by ALA offered by the school, regardless of whether offered on or off campus. . Do not include students taking courses as cognate or service courses. Report them as “Other Graduate.”

Post-Master's: Include here only those students who are working toward a post-master's degree or certificate in library and information science, regardless of whether offered on or off campus. . Do not include students taking courses as cognate or service courses. Report them as “Other Graduate.”

Doctoral: Include here only those students who are working toward a doctoral degree in library and information science, regardless of whether offered on or off campus. Do not include students taking courses as cognate or service courses. Report them as “Other Graduate.”

Other Graduate: Include here students taking library and information science courses as cognate or service courses or for professional development, regardless of whether offered on or off campus.

Other Undergraduate: Include here students taking library and information science courses as cognate or service courses for undergraduate credit, regardless of whether offered on or off campus. Do not include students who are in an established undergraduate program in library and information science.
