Introduction

This report contains data on state library agencies in the 50 states and the District of Columbia for state 

fiscal year (FY) 2000.1 The data were collected through the State Library Agencies (StLA) Survey, the 

product of a cooperative effort between the Chief Officers of State Library Agencies (COSLA), the U.S. 

National Commission on Libraries and Information Science (NCLIS), the National Center for Education 

Statistics (NCES), and the U.S. Census Bureau. The FY 2000 survey is the seventh in a series of State 

Library Agencies Surveys.

Background

A state library agency is the official agency of a state that is charged by state law with the extension and 

development of public library services throughout the state and that has adequate authority under state 

law to administer state plans in accordance with the provisions of the Library Services and Technology 

Act (LSTA) (P.L. 104–208). Beyond these two roles, state library agencies vary greatly. They are located 

in various departments of state government and report to different authorities. They are involved in 

various ways in the development and operation of electronic information networks. They provide different 

types of services to different types of libraries. State library agencies are increasingly receiving broader 

legislative mandates affecting libraries of all types in the states (i.e., public, academic, school, and special 

libraries, and library systems). They provide important reference and information services to state 

governments and administer the state libraries and special operations such as state archives, libraries for 

the blind and physically handicapped, and the State Center for the Book.2 The state library agency may 

also function as the state's public library at large, providing library services to the general public. This 

report provides information on the range of roles played by state library agencies and the various 

combinations of fiscal, human, and informational resources invested in such work. 

Purpose of Survey

The purpose of the StLA Survey is to provide state and federal policymakers, researchers, and other 

interested users with descriptive information about state library agencies. The data collected are useful to 

(1) chief officers of state library agencies; (2) policymakers in the executive and legislative branches of 

federal and state governments; (3) government and library administrators at federal, state, and local 

levels; (4) the American Library Association and its members or customers; and (5) library and public 

policy researchers. Decisionmakers use this survey to obtain information about services and fiscal 

practices.

The survey asks each state library agency about the kinds of services it provides, its staffing practices, its 

collections, income and expenditures, and more. The data include services and financial assistance 

provided to public, academic, and school libraries, and to library systems. When added to the data 

collected through the NCES surveys of public, academic, and school libraries,3 these data help complete 

the national picture of library service.

Highlights

Governance

♦ Nearly all state library agencies (47 states and the District of Columbia) are located in the executive 

branch of government. In three states (Arizona, Michigan, and Tennessee), the agency is located in the 

legislative branch (table 1A). 

♦ Of the state library agencies located in the executive branch, almost two-thirds (31 states) are part of a 

larger agency, most commonly the state department of education (12 states) (tables 1A and 1B). Six 

other state library agencies have direct connections to education through their locations within 

departments or agencies that include education, college, university, or learning in their titles. 

Allied and Other Special Operations

♦ State library agencies in 14 states reported having one or more allied operations (table 2). Allied 

operations most frequently linked with state library agencies are the state archives (10 states) and the 

state records management service (10 states). Expenditures for allied operations totaled $23.4 million, 

or 2.3 percent of total expenditures (table 28).

♦ State library agencies in 15 states contracted with public or academic libraries in their states to serve 

as resource or reference/information service centers (table 2). State library agencies in 21 states 

hosted or provided funding for a State Center for the Book. 

Electronic Services and Information

Electronic Networks, Databases, and Catalogs

♦ Almost all state library agencies (48 states and the District of Columbia) planned or monitored the 

development of electronic networks (table 3). State library agencies in 42 states and the District of 

Columbia operated electronic networks. State library agencies in 46 states and the District of Columbia 

supported the development of bibliographic databases via electronic networks, and state library 

agencies in 44 states and the District of Columbia supported the development of full text or data files via 

electronic networks.4

♦ Almost all state library agencies (49 states) provided or facilitated library access to online databases 

through subscription, lease, license, consortial membership, or agreement (table 3). 

♦ State library agencies in 42 states and the District of Columbia facilitated or subsidized electronic 

access to the holdings of other libraries in their states through Online Computer Library Center (OCLC) 

participation (table 5). Over half provided access via a Web-based union catalog (30 states) or Telnet 

gateway (26 states).

 

4 Database development activities may include the creation of new databases or the conversion of existing 

databases into electronic format (includes bibliographic databases as well as full text or data files).
vi

♦ State library agencies in 46 states had combined expenditures for statewide database licensing of over 

$32.4 million (table 6A).

5

 Of these, Texas had the highest expenditure ($3.1 million) and South Dakota 

the lowest ($5,000). All state library agencies with such expenditures provided statewide database 

licensing services to public libraries in their states, and at least two-thirds provided statewide database 

licensing services to each of the following user groups: academic, school, and special libraries, library 

cooperatives, and other state agencies. 

♦ Over two-thirds (68.0 percent) of the total expenditures for statewide database licensing were from state 

funds; 31.8 percent were from federal sources (table 6B). Of the states reporting statewide database 

licensing expenditures, 16 states funded this activity with state dollars only, 16 states used federal 

dollars only, and 13 states used multiple funding sources.6

Internet Access

♦ All state library agencies facilitated library access to the Internet in one or more of the following ways: 

training or consulting state or local library staff or state library end users in the use of the Internet; 

providing a subsidy to libraries for Internet participation; providing equipment to libraries to access the 

Internet; providing access to directories, databases, or online catalogs; and managing gopher/Web 

sites, file servers, bulletin boards, or listservs (table 3).

♦ Nearly all state library agencies (48 states) had Internet workstations available for public use, ranging in 

number from 2 to 4 (17 states); 5 to 9 (14 states); 10 to 19 (7 states); 20 to 29 (7 states); and 30 or 

more (3 states). Louisiana reported the largest number of public-use Internet terminals (53) (table 4).

♦ State library agencies in 32 states and the District of Columbia were applicants to the Universal Service 

(E-rate discount) Program established by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) under the 

Telecommunications Act of 1996 (P.L. 104–104) (appendix B).7

Library Development Services

Services to Public Libraries

♦ All state library agencies provided the following types of services to public libraries: administration of 

Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) grants; collection of library statistics; continuing education 

programs; and library planning, evaluation, and research. Nearly all state library agencies (49 to 50) 

provided consulting services, library legislation preparation or review, and review of technology plans for 

the E-rate discount program (table 7A).

 

5 Alaska expended $48,000 for statewide database licensing services in FY 99 that covered services for 

FY 99 and FY 2000. This accounts for Alaska showing $0 expenditures for statewide licensing in table 6A 

yet showing user groups covered by these expenditures. This also accounts for the national total of 

46 states having statewide database licensing expenditures in FY 2000 being lower than the national total of 

47 states in the user group Public libraries covered by such expenditures.

6

This tally of states by source of funds does not include Ohio. Ohio’s data were imputed due to 

nonresponse; the imputed data are included in the national totals in tables 6A and 6B but suppressed at the 

state level.

7 Under this program, the FCC promotes affordable access to the Internet and the availability of Internet 

services to the public, with special attention given to schools and libraries. 
vii

♦ Services to public libraries provided by over three-quarters of state library agencies (41 to 47) were 

administration of state aid, interlibrary loan referral services, literacy program support, reference referral 

services, state standards or guidelines, statewide public relations or library promotion campaigns, and 

summer reading program support. About three-quarters of state library agencies (38) provided union list 

development (table 7A). 

♦ Two-thirds of state library agencies (33) provided OCLC Group Access Capability (GAC) (table 7A).

♦ Twelve state library agencies reported accreditation of public libraries, and 22 reported the certification of 

public librarians (table 7A).

Services to Academic Libraries

♦ Over three-quarters of state library agencies (39 to 43) provided the following services to academic 

libraries: administration of LSTA grants, continuing education, and interlibrary loan referral services 

(table 7B). 

♦ Over two-thirds of state library agencies (36) provided reference referral services, 30 agencies provided 

consulting services, and 31 agencies provided union list development (table 7B). 

♦ No state library agency accredits academic libraries; only the state library agency of Washington State 

reported the certification of academic librarians (table 7B).

Services to School Library Media Centers

♦ Over three-quarters of state library agencies provided continuing education (39 agencies) or interlibrary 

loan referral services (41 agencies) to school library media centers (LMCs) (table 7C).

♦ At least two-thirds of state library agencies provided administration of LSTA grants (35 agencies) or 

reference referral services (34 agencies) to LMCs, and over half of the agencies (30) provided consulting 

services (table 7C).

♦ No state library agency accredits LMCs or certifies LMC librarians (table 7C).

Services to Special Libraries

♦ Over three-quarters of state library agencies (40 to 42) served special libraries8 through administration of 

LSTA grants, continuing education, and interlibrary loan referral (table 7D).

♦ Over two-thirds of state library agencies (37) provided reference referral services to special libraries. 

About two-thirds provided consulting services (34 agencies) or union list development (33 agencies). 

Over half of state library agencies (26) provided library planning, evaluation, and research (table 7D). 

♦ Only the Nebraska state library agency accredits special libraries, and only Indiana, Nebraska, and 

Washington State reported certification of librarians of special libraries (table 7D).

 

8

 A special library is a library in a business firm, professional association, government agency, or other 

organized group; a library that is maintained by a parent organization to serve a specialized clientele; or an 

independent library that may provide materials or services, or both, to the public, a segment of the public, or 

other libraries. The scope of collections and services is limited to the subject interests of the host or parent 

institution. Special libraries include libraries in state institutions.
viii

Services to Systems

♦ About two-thirds of state library agencies (33 to 36) provided the following services to library systems:9

administration of LSTA grants; consulting services; continuing education; interlibrary loan referral; library 

legislation preparation or review; and library planning, evaluation, and research (table 7E). 

♦ Over half of state library agencies (26 to 29) served library systems through administration of state aid, 

collection of library statistics, reference referral, state standards or guidelines, statewide public relations 

or library promotion campaigns, union list development, and review of technology plans for the E-rate 

discount program (table 7E).

♦ Six state library agencies reported accreditation of library systems, and five reported certification of 

systems librarians (table 7E).

Service Outlets

♦ State library agencies reported a total of 151 service outlets—53 main or central outlets, 77 other 

outlets (excluding bookmobiles), and 21 bookmobiles (table 8). The user groups receiving library 

services through these outlets, and the number of outlets serving them, included the general public 

(106 outlets); state government employees (101 outlets); blind and physically handicapped individuals 

(58 outlets); residents of state correctional institutions (34 outlets); and residents of other state 

institutions (22 outlets).10 

Collections 

♦ The number of books and serial volumes held by state library agencies totaled 25.6 million (table 10). 

Three state library agencies had book and serial volumes of over 2 million each: Tennessee and New 

York had 2.5 million volumes each, and Michigan had 2.3 million volumes (table 10). The number of 

book and serial volumes held by other state library agencies were 1,000,000 to 1,999,999 (4 states); 

500,000 to 999,999 (10 states); 200,000 to 499,999 (10 states); 100,000 to 199,999 (9 states); 50,000 

to 99,999 (7 states); and under 50,000 (6 states). The state library agencies in Maryland and the 

District of Columbia do not maintain collections.11

♦ The number of serial subscriptions held by state library agencies totaled over 98,000,12 with New York 

and Indiana holding the largest number (over 11,000 each), followed by Connecticut (over 10,000) 

(table 10). The number of serial subscriptions held by other state library agencies were 5,000 to 9,999 

(3 states); 2,000 to 4,999 (5 states); 1,000 to 1,999 (11 states); 500 to 999 (13 states); 100 to 499 

(11 states), and under 100 (3 states). The state library agencies in Maryland and the District of 

Columbia do not maintain collections. 

 

9

 A system is a group of autonomous libraries joined together by formal or informal agreements to perform 

various services cooperatively, such as resource sharing or communications. Systems include multitype 

library systems and public library systems, but not multiple outlets under the same administration.

10The number of outlets by user group may not sum to total outlets because some outlets serve multiple 

user groups.

11 In Maryland, Enoch Pratt Central, the central library of the Enoch Pratt Free Library is designated by state 

law as the State Library Resource Center. In the District of Columbia, the Martin Luther King Memorial 

Library, the central library of the District of Columbia Public Library, functions as a resource center for the 

municipal government.

12This is the total number of serial titles subscribed to, including duplicates.
ix

Staff 

♦ The total number of budgeted full-time-equivalent (FTE) positions in state library agencies was 4,053 

(table 13A). Librarians with American Library Association-Master of Library Science (ALA-MLS) 

degrees accounted for almost 1,262 of these positions, or 31.1 percent of total FTE positions; other 

professionals accounted for 18.8 percent of total FTE positions; and other paid staff accounted for 

50.0 percent. Rhode Island reported the largest percentage (55.0 percent) of ALA-MLS librarians, 

and Virginia reported the smallest (12.5 percent). 

♦ Most of the budgeted FTE positions (56.9 percent) were in library services; 16.5 percent were in 

library development; 11.5 percent were in administration; and 15.1 percent were in other services 

such as allied operations (table 13B). Over two-thirds of the library development positions were for 

public library development (table 13C).

Income 

♦ State library agencies reported a total income of over $1 billion in FY 2000 (table 16). Most income 

was from state sources (84.6 percent), followed by federal sources (13.7 percent) and other sources 

(1.8 percent).13

♦ State library agency income from state sources totaled $872.9 million, with over two-thirds 

($592.4 million) designated for state aid to libraries (table 18). In 10 states, over 75 percent of the 

state library agency income from state sources was designated for state aid to libraries, with 

Massachusetts having the largest percentage (96.8 percent). Six states (Hawaii, Idaho, New 

Hampshire, South Dakota, Vermont, and Wyoming) and the District of Columbia targeted no state 

funds for aid to libraries.14

♦ Federal income totaled $141.1 million, with 94.7 percent from LSTA grants (table 17).

Expenditures 

♦ State library agencies reported total expenditures of over $1 billion in FY 2000 (table 19). Over fourfifths (84.6 percent) of these expenditures were from state funds, followed by federal funds 

(14.0 percent) and funds from other sources (1.4 percent). 

♦ In six states, over 90 percent of total expenditures were from state sources (table 19). These states 

were Massachusetts (95.3 percent), Georgia (93.6 percent), Maryland (92.7 percent), New York 

(92.2 percent), and Rhode Island and Pennsylvania (91.0 percent each). The District of Columbia 

had the smallest percentage of expenditures from state sources (47.4 percent), followed by Utah 

(57.5 percent). 

 

13 Federal income includes State Program income under the LSTA (P.L. 104–208), income from Title II of 

the Library Services and Construction Act (LSCA) (P.L. 101–254), and other federal income. Note: LSCA 

was superseded by LSTA, but LSCA Title II funds are still active. 

14 The District of Columbia Public Library functions as a state library agency and is eligible for federal 

LSTA funds in this capacity. The state library agency in Hawaii is associated with the Hawaii State Public 

Library System and operates all public libraries within its jurisdiction. The state funds for aid to libraries 

for these two agencies are reported on the NCES Public Libraries Survey, rather than on the StLA 

Survey, because of the unique situation of these two state agencies, and in order to eliminate duplicative 

reporting of these data.
x

♦ Financial assistance to libraries accounted for 68.6 percent of total expenditures of state library 

agencies, and over two-thirds of such expenditures were targeted to individual public libraries 

(46.9 percent) and public library systems (21.6 percent) (tables 24 and 26C). Most of these 

expenditures were from state sources (87.9 percent); 11.9 percent were from federal sources (table 21). 

♦ Thirteen state library agencies reported expenditures for allied operations (table 28). These 

expenditures totaled $23.4 million and accounted for 2.3 percent of total expenditures of state library 

agencies. Of states reporting such expenditures, Virginia reported the highest expenditure ($5.1 million) 

and West Virginia the lowest ($12,000).15

♦ Thirty-five state library agencies16 had a combined total of $21.9 million in grants and contracts 

expenditures to assist public libraries with state or federal education reform initiatives (table 29). The 

area of adult literacy and family literacy accounted for 85.0 percent of such expenditures, and prekindergarten learning accounted for 15.0 percent. Expenditures were focused exclusively on prekindergarten learning projects in five states (Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, North Carolina, and 

Vermont) and exclusively on adult literacy and family literacy projects in eight states (California, Illinois, 

Indiana, Michigan, New Jersey, Rhode Island, West Virginia, and Wyoming). 

 

15 Although Alaska reported allied operations (see table 2), the expenditures were not from the state library 

agency budget.

16 This count includes South Carolina.

Summer reading program support is not included as a service in this table, as academic libraries do not provide such programs as defined by the state library and

public library community. Universal service (E-rate discount) program review was also omitted as academic libraries are ineligible for federal funds under this 

program unless their budgets are independent of their parent institution's budget, which is highly unlikely, and no state library agency reported this service.

In Connecticut, 2 of the 3 outlets listed under "Total outlets" in the category "Other outlets (excluding bookmobiles)" serve other libraries, not individuals.

2The District of Columbia Public Library (DCPL) is designated as a state library agency for eligibility for federal funds under the Library Services and Technology Act 

(LSTA) (P.L. 104-208). In this capacity, its Division of Special Services has an outlet that includes the Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped and that also 

serves residents of state institutions through permanent rotating collections.

3The state library agency in Maryland is an office in the Maryland Department of Education (the Division of Library Development and Services). Except for its

Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped outlet, it does not operate a library for the public or for state government personnel. 

4Tennessee's 12 regional libraries became part of the state library agency as of July 1, 1999, which accounts for the 12 new "Other outlets" and 12 new "Bookmobiles".

NOTE: Service outlets include: (a) Main or central outlet—A single unit library or the unit where the principal collections are located and handled. Does not include a 

state library agency administrative center which is separate from the principal collections and is not open to users. (b) Other outlets (excluding bookmobiles)—Units that 

have all of the following: (1) separate quarters; (2) a permanent basic collection of books and/or other materials; (3) a permanent paid staff; and (4) a regular schedule of 

hours open to users. (c) Bookmobiles—Trucks or vans specially equipped to carry books and other library materials. They serve as traveling branch libraries. 

The number of vehicles in use are counted, rather than the number of stops each vehicle makes. The number of outlets by user group may not sum to total outlets because

an outlet may serve more than one user group.

Appendix A—Survey Methodology

This report contains data on state library agencies in the 50 states and the District of Columbia for state fiscal 

year (FY) 2000. The data were collected through the State Library Agencies (StLA) Survey, conducted by the 

National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). The reporting unit for the survey is the state library agency.

Survey Instrument

The StLA data are collected over the Internet via a Web-based reporting system. The Web survey application 

includes a user guide explaining the survey application, the data entry form and instructions, a 'Help' function 

which links data items to their definitions, and an edit check tool. The Web survey was designed to minimize 

response burden, to improve the timeliness and quality of the data, and to require minimal or no edit follow-up 

for data problems. 

Survey Release Date, Editing, and Follow-up

The StLA Survey was released on the Web to state library agencies for data entry on October 16, 2000. The 

survey had a due date of February 16, 2001. The U.S. Census Bureau was the data processing agent for the 

survey through an interagency agreement with NCES. Census administered the Web survey system, provided 

technical support, conducted nonresponse follow-up, and produced the data files and tabulations of the data. 

Census edited the state data submissions, with additional review by NCES.

To reduce response burden, the survey was transmitted with pre-entered prior-year data for items where the 

data are not expected to change annually—Most of Parts A through E and N, or about half of all survey items. 

The respondent was requested to review the pre-entered data and update any information that had changed 

from the previous year. All other data cells were left blank for the respondent to fill in, not update. The 

respondent was instructed to answer -1 to any numeric item if they could not provide the data. The Web 

application required a response to all alpha-numeric items, except items that could legitimately be left blank 

due to skip patterns. The respondent could not "lock" his/her data file to signify completion of the survey unless 

these conditions were met. A zero (0) is a reported response and indicates the state library agency had none 

of the item. Missing data were imputed. See the section below on "Imputation" for a discussion of the 

imputation methodology.

An edit check tool, built into the Web application, alerted the respondent to questionable data during the data 

entry process through interactive "edit check warnings" and through edit check reports which could be viewed 

on-screen or printed. The edit check program enabled the respondent to submit an edited data file to NCES 

which usually required little or no follow-up for data problems. The edit check tool includes four types of edits: 

1. Relational edit checks. This is a data consistency check between related data elements. For 

example, an edit check message is generated if the state library agency is designated as a federal 

depository library but does not indicate the type of federal depository library.

2. Out-of-range edit checks. This is a comparison of data reported for an item to the "acceptable range" 

of numeric values. For example, an edit check message is generated if annual circulation transactions 

per annual library visits is less than 0.5 circulation transactions per visit.

3. Arithmetic edit checks. This is an arithmetic check comparing a reported total to the sum of its parts. 

For example, an edit check message is generated if total operating expenditures is not equal to the 

sum of its parts (total staff expenditures, collection expenditures, and other operating expenditures). 

4. Blank/zero/invalid edit checks. This is a check of reported data against acceptable values. For 

example, an edit check message is generated if book/serial volumes is 0 or blank.
130

The preliminary data file and draft tables were reviewed by the State Library Agencies Survey Steering 

Committee, NCES, and Census for data quality. Based on this review, states with questionable data 

were contacted to request verification or correction of the data.

Imputation 

Missing data were imputed using one of 4 methods: the zero rule, the growth rule, regression modeling, 

or the sum rule. These methods were used in order—the zero rule first, then the growth rule, then 

regression modeling, and finally the sum rule. These methods are explained below.

♦ The zero rule. If the state did not report a value for FY 2000 and the value is 0 for FY 99, then the 

value for FY 2000 was set to 0. This rule was applied first, on the assumption that there was no 

change from the prior year. The 0 in the prior year could be an imputed value.

♦ The Growth Rule. If the state did not report a value for FY 2000 and the value for FY 99 was greater 

than 0, the growth rate from FY 99 to FY 2000 was calculated for all states that reported data greater 

than 0 in both years. The median of the growth rates was then calculated and applied to the state's 

FY 99 data to obtain an estimate for FY 2000. The growth rate could be applied to an FY 99 imputed 

value. Note: The growth rule looked at values for FY 99 only, as states that cannot report a 

particular item tend to have ongoing problems reporting the item, so earlier data were not considered 

to be useful.

♦ Regression Modeling. If the state did not report a value for FY 2000 and there was no comparable 

value for FY 99 (e.g., a new item was added to the survey), regression was used. The regression 

model used only the FY 2000 data file. Regression was used to impute adult literacy and family 

literacy (ADFAMLIT),17 a revised item on the FY 2000 file that did not directly correspond to the FY 99 

item (adult literacy). Total literacy program support staff (LITPRSED), total state expenditures for 

financial assistance to libraries (AIDPLSB), and total LSTA expenditures for servi ces to children in 

poverty (SERPOVXU) were chosen as the predictor items reported by all states. Due to response 

scaling problems, a log transform was used on ADFAMLIT. The model was fitted to states that 

reported a positive value for ADFAMLIT. The missing value of ADFAMLIT was then replaced with the 

regression-predicted value.

♦ The Sum Rule. When the details of a total and the total were missing, the details were imputed by 

the zero rule, the growth rule or regression modeling. The total was then imputed by adding up the 

details.

Survey Data Items

The FY 2000 survey collected data on 423 items, including state library agency identification, 

governance, public service hours, service outlets, collections, library service transactions, library 

development transactions, services to other libraries in the state, allied operations, staff, income, 

expenditures, and electronic services and information. The data items and definitions are provided in 

the survey instrument in appendix D. 

Universe

The state library agencies in the 50 states and the District of Columbia (51 total) comprise the survey 

universe.

Response Rate

Unit Response. The FY 2000 StLA Survey achieved a 100 percent unit response rate. 

Item Response. Most items had a 100 percent response rate. Items with less than a 100 percent 

response rate are listed below. 

 Item Response

number Name rate

114 Library visits 90.2

223a Statewide database licensing expenditures (federal) 98.2

223b Statewide database licensing expenditures (state) 98.2

223c Statewide database licensing expenditures (other) 98.2

223d Statewide database licensing expenditures (total) 98.2

239 Pre-kindergarten learning (“readiness for school”) 98.2

240 Adult literacy and family literacy 98.2

Reporting Period. The FY 2000 StLA Survey requested data for state fiscal year 2000, except for 

Part B—Governance and Part J—Staff which requested data as of October 1, 2000. The fiscal year of 

most states was July 1, 1999 to June 30, 2000. Exceptions were New York (April 1, 1999 to March 31, 

2000); Texas (September 1, 1999 to August 31, 2000); and Alabama, the District of Columbia, and 

Michigan (October 1, 1999 to September 30, 2000).

Using the Data to Make Comparisons. Missing data were imputed. The imputations are included in 

national totals but suppressed at the state level in the tables in this report. Imputations were first included 

on the FY 99 survey file; users should therefore take into consideration that the data are not strictly 

comparable to data prior to FY 99, which rely only on reported data. 

State comparisons should be made with caution because states vary in their fiscal year reporting periods, 

as indicated above, and may vary in their interpretation of the survey definitions. The District of 

Columbia, while not a state, is included in the survey. Caution should be used in comparing District of 

Columbia data with state data.
