Introduction

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

fiscal year 1997.1 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), and National Center for Education

Statistics (NCES). The FY 1997 STLA Survey is the fourth in the series.

Background

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

and development of public library services throughout the state, which has adequate authority under law of

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

Construction Act (LSCA) (P.L. 101-254, as amended). Beyond these two essential roles, these 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. STLAs are increasingly

receiving broader legislative mandates affecting libraries of all types in the states (i.e., public, academic,

school, special, and library systems). For example, their administrative and developmental responsibilities

under LSCA Title III (Interlibrary Cooperation and Resource Sharing) affect the operation of thousands of

public, academic, school, and special libraries in the nation. STLAs provide important reference and

information services to state government and administer the state library and special operations such as

state archives, libraries for the blind and physically handicapped, and the State Center for the Book. The

STLA may also function as the state's public library at large, providing service to the general public and

state government employees. This report provides information on the variety of roles being played by

such agencies and the various combinations of fiscal, human, and informational resources invested in such

work. The definitions of terms used in this report are provided in the survey facsimile at the end of the

report.

Purpose of Survey

The STLA Survey provides state and federal policymakers, researchers, and other interested users with

descriptive information about STLAs in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. The survey also

collects data on STLA services and financial assistance to local public libraries which, when added to the

data collected by the NCES Public Libraries Survey, will help complete the national picture of public

library service. NCES also conducts surveys of academic, school, and federal libraries, and of library

cooperatives. Together, these data collections will contribute to a comprehensive, national profile of

libraries and information services.

Congressional Authorization

The STLA Survey is conducted in compliance with the NCES mission "to collect, analyze, and

disseminate statistics and other information related to education in the United States...", P.L. 103-382,

Title IV, National Education Statistics Act of 1994, Sec 404 (a).

Highlights

Governance

# Nearly all state library agencies (48 states and the District of Columbia) are located in the executive

branch of government. Of these, over 65 percent are part of a larger agency, the most common being

 the state department of education. In two states, Arizona and Michigan, the agency reports to the

legislature (tables 1a and 1b).

Allied and Other Special Operations

# A total of 16 state library agencies reported having one or more allied operations (table 2). Allied

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

state records management service (11 states). 

# Fifteen state agencies contract with public or academic libraries in their states to serve as resource or

reference/ information service centers. Eighteen state agencies operate a State Center for the Book2

(table 2).

Electronic Network Development

# All state library agencies plan or monitor electronic network development; 42 states and the District of

Columbia operate such networks; and 46 states and the District of Columbia develop network content

(table 3).

# All 50 states are involved in facilitating library access to the Internet in one or more of the following

ways: training library staff or consulting in the use of the Internet; providing a subsidy for Internet

participation; providing equipment needed to access the Internet; providing access to directories, data

bases, or online catalogs; or managing gopher/Web sites, file servers, bulletin boards, or listservs

(table 3).

Library Development Services

Services to Public Libraries

# Every state library agency provides these types of services to public libraries: administration of LSCA

(Library Services and Construction Act) grants, collection of library statistics, and library planning,

evaluation, and research. Nearly every state library agency provides consulting services and

continuing education programs (table 4a).

# Services to public libraries provided by at least three-quarters of state agencies include administration

of state aid, interlibrary loan referral services, library legislation preparation or review, literacy

of Congress which promotes books, reading, and literacy, and is hosted or funded by the state.

program support, reference referral services, state standards or guidelines, summer reading program

support, and union list development (table 4a).

# Over three-fifths of state agencies provide Online Computer Library Center (OCLC) Group Access

Capability (GAC) to public libraries and statewide publication relations or library promotion

campaigns (table 4a).

# Less common services to public libraries include accreditation of libraries, certification of librarians,

cooperative purchasing of library materials, preservation/conservation services, and retrospective

conversion of bibliographic records (table 4a).

Services to Academic Libraries

# At least two-thirds of state library agencies report the following services to the academic library

sector: administration of LSCA Title III grants, continuing education, interlibrary loan referral

services, reference referral services, and union list development (table 4b).

# Less common services to academic libraries include cooperative purchasing of library materials,

literacy program support, preservation/conservation, retrospective conversion, and state standards or

guidelines. No state library agency accredits academic libraries; only Washington state certifies

academic librarians (table 4b).

Services to School Library Media Centers

# At least two-thirds of all state library agencies provide continuing education, interlibrary loan referral

services, and reference referral services to school library media centers (LMCs) (table 4c). Services to

LMCs provided by at least half of all state agencies include administration of LSCA Title III grants,

consulting services, and union list development (table 4c).

# Less common services to LMCs include administration of state aid, cooperative purchasing of library

materials, and retrospective conversion. No state library agency accredits LMCs or certifies LMC

librarians (table 4c).

Services to Special Libraries

# Over two-thirds of state agencies serve special libraries3 through administration of LSCA grants,

consulting services, continuing education, interlibrary loan referral, reference referral, and union list

development (table 4d).

# Less common services to special libraries include administration of state aid, cooperative purchasing of

library materials, and summer reading program support. Only Nebraska accredits special libraries

and only Washington state certifies librarians of special libraries(table 4d).

 

3A 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 to other libraries. 

Scope of collections and services are limited to the subject interests of the host or parent institution. Includes

libraries in state institutions.
vii

Services to Systems

# At least three-fifths of state agencies serve library systems4 through administration of LSCA grants,

consulting services, continuing education, interlibrary loan referral, library legislation preparation or

review, reference referral, and library planning, evaluation, and research (table 4e).

# Accreditation of systems is provided by only six states, and certification of librarians by only seven

states (table 4e).

Service Outlets

# State library agencies reported a total of 153 service outlets. Main or central outlets and other outlets

(excluding bookmobiles) each accounted for 47.1 percent of the total, and bookmobiles represented 5.9

percent of the total (table 5).

Collections

# The number of books and serial volumes held by state library agencies totaled 22.4 million, with New

York accounting for the largest collection (2.4 million) (table 7). Five state agencies had book and

serial volumes of over one million. In other states, these collections ranged from 500,000 to one

million (12 states); 200,000 to 499,999 (10 states); 100,000 to 199,999 (10 states); 50,000 to 99,999 (6

states); and 50,000 or less (6 states). The state library agency in Maryland does not maintain a

collection, and the District of Columbia does not maintain a collection in its function as a state library

agency.

# The number of serial subscriptions held by state library agencies totaled over 84,000, with New York

holding the largest number (over 14,300) (table 7). Ten state agencies reported serial subscriptions of

over 2,000. In other states, these collections ranged from 1,000 to 1,999 (6 states), 500 to 999 (18

states), 100 to 499 (13 states), and under 100 (one state). The state library agencies in Maryland and

the District of Columbia do not maintain collections.

Staff

# The total number of budgeted full-time equivalent (FTE) positions in state library agencies was

3,762 (table 10a). Librarians with ALA-MLS degrees accounted for 1,206 of these positions, or

32.1 percent of total FTE positions. Rhode Island reported the largest percentage (57.1) of ALA-MLS

librarians, and Virginia reported the lowest (16.3 percent).

Income

# State library agencies reported a total income of $847.1 million in FY 1997 (83.1 percent from state

sources, 15.4 percent from federal, and 1.5 percent from other sources) (table 12).

# Of state library agency income received from state sources, over $477 million (67.8 percent) was

designated for state aid to libraries (table 14). Seven states had over 75 percent of their income from

perform various services cooperatively such as resource sharing, communications, etc. Includes multitype

library systems and public library systems. Excludes multiple outlets under the same administration.

state sources set aside for state aid. Georgia had the largest percentage of state library agency income

set aside for state aid (97.4 percent). Six states and the District of Columbia targeted no state funds

for aid to libraries. Hawaii, Iowa, South Dakota, Vermont, Washington, and the District of Columbia

had all of their state income set aside for operation of the state agency.5

Expenditures

# State library agencies reported total expenditures of $822.2 million (table 15). The largest percentage

(83.6 percent) was from state funds, followed by federal funds (15.3 percent), and other funds

(1.1 percent). 

# In five states, over 90 percent of total expenditures were from state sources (table 15). These states

were Georgia (94.7 percent), Massachusetts (93.5 percent), Illinois (92.4 percent), New York

(92.0 percent), and Maryland (91.9 percent). Utah had the lowest percentage of expenditures from

state sources (59.2 percent).

# Almost 70 percent of total state library expenditures were for financial assistance to libraries, with the

largest percentages expended on individual public libraries (53.1 percent) and public library systems

(16.4 percent) (tables 20 and 22c). Most of the expenditures for financial assistance to libraries were

from state sources (86.2 percent), while 13.6 percent were from federal sources (table 17).

# Fifteen state library agencies reported expenditures for allied operations (table 24). These

expenditures totaled over $24.0 million and represented 2.9 percent of total expenditures by state

library agencies. Of states reporting such expenditures, Texas had the highest expenditure ($3.3

million) and Vermont the lowest ($398,000).6

# Twenty-seven state library agencies reported a total of over $16.7 million in grants and contracts

expenditures to assist public libraries with state education reform initiatives or the National Education

Goals (table 25). The area of adult literacy accounted for the largest proportion of such expenditures

(47.7 percent), followed by the areas of lifelong learning (34.9 percent) and readiness for school (17.4

percent). Three state agencies (Nebraska, Oregon, and Pennsylvania) focused such expenditures

exclusively on readiness for school projects, and five state agencies (Georgia, Kansas, New Jersey,

Oklahoma, and Utah) focused their expenditures exclusively on adult literacy projects. In four states

agencies (Connecticut, Indiana, Michigan, and South Carolina), over two-thirds of such expenditures

were for lifelong learning projects.

 

5

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

Federal LSCA (Library Services and Construction Act) 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.

6Although Alaska reported allied operations (see table 2), the expenditures for such operations are

not from the state library agency budget.

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

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

 Construction Act. 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.

3/ The 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. 

Notes: 1. Service outlets include:

 (a) Main or central outlet--A single unit library or the unit where the principal collections are located and handled. Note: 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 travelling branch libraries. 

 Note: The number of vehicles in use are counted, rather than the number of stops each vehicle makes.

 2. User group outlets 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 1997. The data were collected through the State Library Agencies (STLA) Survey, FY 1997, conducted

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

agency.

Survey Software

The STLA Survey is conducted using customized survey software, designed to minimize response burden and

provide NCES with state-edited data requiring minimal follow-up for data quality. Respondents are alerted to

questionable data during the data entry process by pop-up messages that prompt them to verify or revise the

data, as appropriate. The software also produces error/warning reports of these questionable data, for

viewing on-screen or as printed copy. The survey software and user guide are available to respondents on

diskette and over the Internet. The user guide contains the instructions for using the software and a facsimile

of the survey. The survey can be transmitted by mail or over the Internet.

Mail-out, Editing, and Follow-up

To reduce response burden, the survey was transmitted with prior-year data for items where the data are not

expected to change annually--most of Parts A through G, or about 40 percent of the survey. The respondent

was requested to review the pre-entered data and update any information that had changed. All other data

cells were initialized with -2 (if numeric data were requested) or were left blank (if alphanumeric data were

requested). The software does not permit the respondent to save a data file for transmission to NCES if a -2

remains in any data cell. The respondent was instructed to enter -1 for items requiring numeric data if they

did not know the answer, and to leave alphanumeric items blank if they could not provide the data. Missing

data are not imputed. A zero (0) is a reported response and indicates the STLA had none of the item.

The survey was mailed to the states in mid-October, 1997 and had a due date of February 15, 1998. The last

submission was received on July 27, 1998. The Bureau of the Census was the data collection and processing

agent for NCES.

Nonresponse follow-up was conducted in February, 1998, and the data were edited from March through July

of 1998. After data submissions were received from all 50 states and the District of Columbia, the

preliminary national file and the tables for this report were reviewed for data quality by the STLA Steering

Committee, NCES, and Census. Some states were contacted to request verification or correction of

questionable data before the final data file was produced.

The STLA Survey software performs four types of data edit checks:

1. Relational edit checks. A data consistency check between related data elements. For example, an error

message is generated if the STLA is designated as a Federal depository library but does not indicate the

type of Federal depository library.
114

2. Out-of-range edit checks. A comparison of data reported for an item to the "acceptable range" of values.

 For example, an error message is generated if annual Circulation per annual Library Visits is less than

0.5.

3. Arithmetic edit checks. An arithmetic accuracy check of a reported total and its parts to the generated

total. For example, an error 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. A check of reported data against acceptable values. For example, an

error message is generated if Book/Serial Volumes is 0 or blank.

Survey Data Items

The survey collected data on 462 items, including the agency’s location in state government, public service

hours, number and types of service outlets, type and size of collections, library service transactions and

development transactions, support of electronic information networks, allied operations, staff, and income and

expenditures. Data were also collected on STLA services to public, academic, school, and special libraries,

and to library systems. The data items and definitions are provided in the survey facsimile at the end of this

report.

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 1997 STLA Survey had a 100 percent response rate. 

Item Response. Most items had a 100 percent response rate. The lowest response rate to any item was

86.3 percent (library visits). Survey items with less than a 100 percent response rate are listed below by

response rate ranges, data item number, and name:

95.0 - 99.9 percent response 85.0 – 89.9 percent response

006 - Zip + 4 (physical location address) 114 - Library visits

011 - Zip + 4 (mailing address)

016 - Internet (chief officer)

021 - Internet (survey respondent)

095 - Serial subscriptions

096 - Government documents

111 - Interlibrary loans received from other

 libraries/document delivery services

Reporting Period. The FY 1997 STLA Survey requested data for state fiscal year 1997, except for Part B–

Governance and Part J–Staff data which were requested as of October 1, 1997. The fiscal year of

most states is July 1 to June 30. Exceptions are New York (April 1 to March 31); Texas (September 1 to

August 31); and Alabama, the District of Columbia, and Michigan (October 1 to September 30).

Using the Data to Make Comparisons. The STLA data are not imputed for item nonresponse, so state and

national totals may be underestimated for some items. State comparisons should be made with caution
115

because states may vary in their item response rates, fiscal year reporting periods, and adherence to survey

definitions. The District of Columbia, while not a state, is included in the survey. Special care should be

used in comparing District of Columbia data with state data.

in a close and confidential relationship with members of the State

legislature and their staff.

Note: As an allied service, the organization is distinguished

from specialized reference service which a state library agency

may provide to government and other users by responding to

reference questions from legislative personnel, providing

information service, furnishing bibliographic and net search

results, and instructing and guiding users in conducting their

research. At the federal level, the parallel might be the

difference between parts of the Library of Congress: (1) the

Congressional Research Service, and (2) various reference services

and subject divisions of the Library.

Congress which promotes books, reading, and literacy, and is

hosted or funded by the State.

 PART D. SERVICES TO LIBRARIES AND SYSTEMS

5. Indicate which of the specified services are provided directly or

by contract by the STLA to different types of libraries or

systems. Enter <Y>es or <N>o for each service, for each type of

library and systems.

Type of Library

Academic Library. A library forming an integral part of a

college, university, or other academic institution for

postsecondary education, organized and administered to meet the

needs of students, faculty, and affiliated staff of the

institution.

Public Library. A library that serves all residents of a given

community, district, or region, and (typically) receives its

financial support, in whole or part, from public funds.

School Library Media Center. A library that is an integral part

of the educational program of an elementary or secondary school

with materials and services that meet the curricular, information,

and recreational needs of students, teachers, and administrators.

Special Library. 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 to other libraries. Scope of collections and services

are limited to the subject interests of the host or parent

institution. Includes libraries in State institutions.

System. A system is a group of autonomous libraries joined

together by formal or informal agreements to perform various

services cooperatively such as resource sharing, communications,

etc. Includes multitype library systems and public library

systems. Excludes multiple outlets under the same administration.
132

Services to Libraries and Systems

048 Accreditation of libraries. The STLA may endorse or approve

officially libraries which meet criteria specified by the State.

049 Administration of LSCA grants. Includes determining compliance

with eligibility criteria and performance standards, overseeing

processes through which grant recipients are determined,

announcing grant recipients and disbursing funds, monitoring and

receiving reports from grant recipients, submitting plans and

reports to Library Programs, and other activities involved in the

management of financial assistance provided by the federal

government to libraries under the Library Services and

Construction Act.

050 Administration of State aid. Includes determining compliance with

eligibility criteria and performance standards, overseeing

processes through which grant recipients are determined,

announcing grant recipients and disbursing funds, monitoring and

receiving reports from grant recipients, and other activities

involved in the management of financial assistance provided by the

State to libraries.

051 Certification of librarians. The STLA may credential library

staff with the rank or title of librarian by attesting officially

to their qualifications. These qualifications may include a

master's degree from a graduate program accredited by the American

Library Association, another level or type of educational

attainment, confirmation of participation in continuing education

activities, and/or residency in the State for a specified period.

052 Collection of library statistics. Every STLA collects statistics

on public libraries and participates in the Federal-State

Cooperative System (FSCS) for Public Library Data. Many STLA's

collect statistics on institutional and other special libraries.

Some STLA's assist in the collection of academic library

statistics for the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System

(IPEDS). A few STLA's collect statistics on school library media

centers. These data collections usually involve the design and

administration of survey instruments as well as data entry and

processing and report design and dissemination.

053 Consulting services. Individual or small-group contacts to help

libraries to attain goals and objectives and to deal with specific

needs and problems. Consultants provide guidance on problems of

concern to local personnel, assistance in identifying problems not

clearly recognized, and identification of opportunities for

increased or improved performance to specific groups.

054 Continuing education programs. Includes staff development events

for library personnel at all levels as well as training events for

trustees and other State and local government officials who have

authority over or responsibility for libraries.

055 Cooperative purchasing of library materials. Two or more

independent libraries of any type engaging in joint activities

related to purchasing materials, together with the maintenance of

the necessary records of these additions. Also included are joint

activities related to the identification and verification of

titles, fund accounting, processing payments, and claims.

056 Interlibrary loan referral services. Activities involving

bibliographic service centers or utilities, regional systems

(federations or cooperatives), consortia, and resource centers,

such as identifying libraries believed to own requested materials
133

and/or transmitting interlibrary loan requests in accordance with

established protocols or prevailing practices.

057 Library legislation preparation/review. Minimally, addresses the

governance and financing of the STLA, public library service, and

library service to blind and physically handicapped persons and

residents of State institutions. It usually permits the types of

public library structures, such as municipal, countywide,

regional, federated, cooperative, and contractual agreements. It

may also provide mandates for STLA functions, other types of

libraries (e.g., academic, school), and multitype cooperation.

058 Library planning/evaluation/research. Activities involved in

designing and assessing library programs and services and studying

issues facing libraries. Examples: the PLA planning and

role-setting process for public libraries, the TELL IT! evaluation

process.

059 Literacy program support. Organized efforts to assist individuals

with limited language and mathematical skills in developing skills

in reading, writing, and computation that enable them to function

in society without assistance from others.

060 OCLC Group Access Capability (GAC). Use of the Online Computer

Library Center (OCLC) system, originally the Ohio College Library

Center, by a group of libraries for resource sharing and

interlibrary lending (ILL). Group Access Capability (GAC) related

activities may include coordinating group profiling, establishing

group policies, coordinating ILL protocols within the group, and

referring requests outside of a GAC group.

061 Preservation/conservation services. Specific measures undertaken

for the repair, maintenance, restoration, or protection of library

materials, including but not limited to binding and rebinding,

materials conversion (to microform for example), deacidification,

and lamination.

062 Reference referral services. Provision of information about or

from groups or organizations. A reference referral transaction

involves the provision of information about a group or

organization and its activities, services or agencies, and

calendar. Such a transaction typically requires the determination

of the user's need and the appropriate group or organization to

meet the need. Such a transaction may require directing the user

to persons or organizations external to the library for an answer

to a question.

063 Retrospective conversion of bibliographic records. Retrospective

conversion involves changing bibliographic records from one

format, usually cards, to machine-readable form in order to

produce or make additions to an automated catalog.

064 State standards/guidelines. The STLA may promulgate standards or

guidelines that define adequacy, equity, and/or excellence in

library service. Standards or guidelines may be quantitative,

qualitative, or both. Maintaining standards or following

guidelines may be a requirement for receiving State aid and/or
