PART II: STUDENTS
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

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.

Table II-3 collects data on the number of graduates,
as well as the gender and ethnic origin or international student status of
these graduates, for each program of study.
Please report data for degrees and certificates
awarded in the 1998-1999 academic year
(Fall 1998 through Spring 1999 and the 1999 summer sessions). US schools should supply breakdowns by
ethnic group; Canadian schools may supply breakdowns if these data are
available. All schools should supply
totals.
Please note that international
students should be reported only in the “I” column and not in any of the ethnic
categories. The ethnic category columns
are limited to reporting of students who are US. (or Canadian, for Canadian
schools) citizens, permanent residents, or landed immigrants.
Use the five categories of ethic origin defined by the
US Department of Labor given on p. 6.
* Use the program levels defined on p. 3.
Ethnic Origin Definitions
AI American Indian or Alaskan Native -- a person having origin
in any of the original peoples of North America, and who maintains cultural
identification through tribal affiliation or community recognition.
AP Asian or Pacific Islander -- a person having origin in any of
the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent,
or the Pacific Islands. This area
includes, for example, China, Japan, Korea, the Philippine Islands, Samoa, and
Taiwan. The Indian subcontinent
includes the countries of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal,
Sikkim, and Bhutan.
B Black, not of Hispanic Origin -- a person having origin in
any of the black racial groups of Africa.
H Hispanic -- a person of Cuban, Central or South American,
Mexican, Puerto Rican, or other Spanish culture or origin, regardless of
race. Only those persons from Central
and South American countries who are of Spanish origin, descent, or culture
should be included in this category.
Persons from Brazil, Guyana, Surinam, or Trinidad, for example, would be
classified according to their race and would not necessarily be included in the
Hispanic category. In addition, the
category does not include persons from Portugal, who would be classified
according to race.
W White, not of Hispanic origin -- a person having origin in
any of the original peoples of Europe, North America, or the Middle East.
In addition:
I International students -- all students who are not U. S.
(or Canadian, for Canadian schools) citizens, permanent residents, or landed
immigrants.
NA Information not available.
Please use this category sparingly.
Where at all possible, report ethnicity.

Table II-11 collects data on the
number of scholarships and fellowships awarded and the total value of those
awards, as well as their distribution by gender, for each program level.
Please report data for students
officially enrolled during the 1998-1999
academic year (Fall 1998 through Spring 1999 and the 1999 summer sessions). Base responses on aid awarded and accepted
by students for the most recently completed fiscal year. The summer
sessions for which information is recorded will depend on the starting date of
your fiscal year. Include such awards
as those administered directly through the school of library and information
science, federal funds, awards made through the parent institution’s funds, and
awards made through the schools but from non-federal sources (such as the H. W.
Wilson awards and tuition waivers).
Exclude awards made directly to students from outside sources,
assistantships, and work/study awards.
In the “Total Value” columns
please report the total value of the awards reported in the “Number Awarded”
cell to the left. If you have students
enrolled in a particular program but made no scholarship or fellowship awards
to those students please report “0” rather than leaving the cell blank.
