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 (i.e.., separate master's programs) are asked to report separately for the ALA-accredited library science master’s program, any information science master’s program whether accredited or not, but aggregate the students in other master’s program(s) of study under Other Master's.
If your school offers a particular program of study but no students are enrolled in that program (or none graduated -- Table II-3), please report “0” in the tables 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, subject to editing, will be included in the final report with the table to which they refer where possible.
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.

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 2002.
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. 4.

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 2001-2002 academic year (Fall 2001 through Spring 2002 and
the 2002 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. 7.
* Use the program levels defined on p. 4.
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 2001-2002 academic year (Fall 2001 through
Spring 2002 and the 2002 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.

Table II-13 collects data on the cost of obtaining a full degree
and the cost for one credit for each of the program levels for both
in-state/province and out-of-state/province students.
Report the total cost of a degree obtained without
transfer credit. Figures should
indicate tuition and fees in force as of Fall 2002. Exclude any fees for particular courses
(such as computer usage) and any lab fees.
For doctoral programs, show tuition and fees to cover course work only
(i.e., exclude dissertation costs).
Tuition for one credit should reflect tuition only
as of Fall 2002. Exclude all
fees and any other charges. Please
report only the cost for one credit even though your school has a minimum
credit hour requirement greater than one credit. Please comment below about minimum credit requirements that
exceed one credit.
* Use the program levels defined on p. 4.
[1] In these definitions the terms “library science” and “information science” should be interpreted in their broadest sense. Thus, these terms would also apply to degrees in library service, library studies, information studies, information systems, etc.
