	GUIDELINES FOR COMPLETING INDIVIDUAL FACULTY DATA FORM

	FULL-TIME FACULTY

l.	List academic rank and, when applicable, the title of each full-time faculty member on the faculty of your school expected on January 1, 2007. Begin with the deans, directors, or chairs. Then, arrange the rest of the faculty IN ORDER OF RANK: Professor, Associate Professor, Assistant Professor, Instructor, and Lecturer. If you use other titles, such as "senior tutor," for example, please use the most equivalent title from the above list.

	Only FULL-TIME MEMBERS of the faculty, including administrative officers holding academic titles, should be included. The academic rank of deans, directors, assistant deans, etc., should be added after their executive or administrative titles (e.g., Dean/Professor). Part-time faculty. Library and information studies librarians, even thought they teach part-time or have academic title, should not be included. On the other hand, faculty who give their full time to the school, even though their salaries are paid from a different budget (e.g., full-time faculty paid from the president's discretionary fund or by an outside agency) should be included.

2.	Salary. This figure should represent the actual gross salary of the individual for the appointment period shown in the next column of the form. Do not include fringe benefits in this figure. (Every faculty member's financial status is enhanced by institutional contributions to retirement funds, insurance, health benefits, etc., when some schools add these to the salary information requested here, the salary rates are distorted).

3.	Appointment Period. This information should be given as either academic year (AY) (9-10 months) or fiscal year (FY) (11-12 months). 

4.	Tenure Status. For most schools the answer will be either yes or no (i.e., tenured (T) or not tenured (NT)). Schools using concepts such as "continuing appointment" or "security of appointment" should equate these with tenure. 

5.	Please indicate the sex of each faculty member.

6.	Please indicate the actual degree, Ph.D., D.L.S., Ed.D., etc.

7.	Indicate the discipline in which the highest degree has been earned.

8.	Ethnic origin. For the purposes of this survey, five categories are used, as defined by the Department of Labor. Please use the following symbols:

		AI - American Indian or Alaskan Native
		AP - Asian or Pacific Islander
		B -  Black
		H -  Hispanic
		W -  White

	The U.S. Department of Labor's definitions of each of these categories is attached.

9.	Age category.  Please use categories below. Base on the faculty member's age as of Jan 1, 2007.

				Under 25		50-54
				25-29			55-59
				30-34			60-64
				35-39			65-69
				40-44			70 -
				45-49

10.	Year of appointment to the full-time faculty at your present LIS program. The year given should represent the point at which a faculty member became full-time even though that individual may have had a part-time appointment earlier.  For deans and directors the date on which he or she became the school's chief executive officer is requested in addition to the date of appointment to present rank.

11.	Year of appointment to present rank at this institution. This should be the academic/fiscal year that this appointment or promotion became effective. (e.g., if a person was appointed in January 2005 please list as2005/06 year. PLEASE NOTE: For schools that have "distinguished" professors or have multiple rank full professors, please use the date when promoted to full professor, not the date promoted to "Professor II" or  "distinguished" professor.
