Introduction

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

state fiscal year (FY) 2001.1 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 2001 

survey is the eighth in the StLA series.

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. 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. 

The state library agencies of Hawaii, Maryland, and the District of Columbia are administrative 

offices in the Department of Education, Hawaii State Public Library System; Department of 

Education, Division of Library Development and Services; and the District of Columbia Public 

Library, respectively. They are charged with statewide library development and administration of 

the LSTA funds and may provide additional services, but they do not function as state libraries.

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 the 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.

2

The State Center for the Book, which is part of the Center for the Book program sponsored by 

the Library of Congress, promotes books, reading, and literacy, and is hosted or funded by the 

state.
iv

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,3these data help complete the national picture of library service.

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 and in other 

nations, including . . . the learning and teaching environment, including data on libraries . . .” (P.L. 

103–382, Title IV, National Education Statistics Act of 1994, Sec. 404 [a]). 

Terms Used in This Report

The definitions of terms used in this report are included in the survey instrument in appendix D.

The NCES Public Libraries Survey collects data from U.S. public libraries. The Academic 

Libraries Survey collects data from postsecondary institution libraries. The “School Library Media 

Center Questionnaire” of the NCES Schools and Staffing Survey collects data from elementary 

and secondary school library media centers.

Highlights

Governance

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

branch of government (table 1A). In three states (Arizona, Michigan, and Tennessee), the agency is 

located in the legislative branch. 

♦ 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).

♦ In nine states (Alaska, Arizona, Connecticut, Florida, Kentucky, Nevada, Oklahoma, Texas, and 

Virginia) state library agencies serve as the state archives and provide state records management 

services (table 2). The Tennessee state library agency also serves as the state archives, and Kansas 

state records are managed by the state library agency. In four states (Arizona, California, Kansas, and 

Oklahoma) state library agencies serve as the primary state legislative research organization. The state 

history museum or art gallery is an allied operation of the Alaska, Arizona, and Connecticut state library 

agencies. Expenditures for allied operations totaled $23.9 million, or 2.1 percent of total expenditures 

(table 28).

♦ State library agencies in 17 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 23 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 (46 states and the District of Columbia) planned or monitored the 

development of electronic networks (table 3). State library agencies in 40 states and the District of 

Columbia operated electronic networks. State library agencies in 48 states and the District of Columbia 

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

agencies in 47 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 agencies) provided or facilitated library access to online databases 

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

♦ State library agencies in 41 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 (22 states).

 

4

The development of bibliographic databases via electronic networks and the development of full text or data 

files via electronic networks are both classified as “database development activities.” These activities include 

the creation of new databases or files as well as the conversion of existing materials into electronic format.
vi 

♦ State library agencies in 47 states had combined expenditures for statewide database licensing of over 

$49.7 million (table 6A). Of these, Texas had the highest expenditure ($10.4 million) and, among states 

that reported expenditures for statewide database licensing, South Dakota spent the least ($6,000). 

With the exception of South Dakota, 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 the following user groups: academic, school, and special 

libraries; library cooperatives; and other state agencies. 

♦ Over three-fourths (76.2 percent) of the total expenditures for statewide database licensing were from 

state funds; 23.8 percent were from federal sources (table 6B). Of the states reporting statewide 

database licensing expenditures, 16 states funded this activity with state dollars only, 12 states used 

federal dollars only, and 19 states used multiple funding sources. California, the District of Columbia, 

and Oregon reported no statewide database licensing expenditures.5

Internet Access

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

providing training or consulting to 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 (47 states) had Internet workstations available for public use, ranging in 

number from 2 to 4 (16 agencies); 5 to 9 (13 agencies); 10 to 19 (10 agencies); 20 to 29 (4 agencies); 

and 30 or more (4 agencies) (table 4). Louisiana reported the largest number of public-use Internet 

terminals (48).

♦ State library agencies for 31 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).6

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 (48 to 50 

agencies) provided consulting services, library legislation preparation or review, and review of technology 

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

♦ Services to public libraries provided by 42 to 47 state library agencies (42 to 47 agencies) 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 (table 7A). Almost three-quarters of state library agencies (37 

agencies) provided union list7 development. 

♦ Almost two-thirds of state library agencies (32 agencies) provided OCLC Group Access Capability 

(GAC) (table 7A).

♦ Twelve state library agencies reported accreditation of public libraries, and 23 state library agencies 

reported certification of public librarians (table 7A).

Services to Academic Libraries

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

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

services (table 7B). The state library agencies for California, Colorado, Illinois, Montana, and New York 

administered state aid to academic libraries.

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

provided consulting services, and 30 agencies provided union list development (table 7B). 

♦ No state library agency accredits academic libraries. Only the Washington State Library Agency 

reported certification of academic librarians (table 7B).

Services to School Library Media Centers

♦ About three-quarters of state library agencies provided continuing education (38 agencies) or interlibrary 

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

♦ Two-thirds of state library agencies provided administration of LSTA grants (34 agencies) or reference 

referral services (34 agencies) to LMCs, and 30 agencies provided consulting services to LMCs (table 

7C).

♦ The state library agencies for California, Colorado, Illinois and Montana administered state aid to school 

LMCs (table 7C). 

♦ No state library agency reported accreditation or certification of LMC librarians (table 7C).

 

7A union list is a list of titles of works, usually periodicals, in physically separate library collections. Location 

data indicate libraries in which a given item may be found.
viii 

Services to Special Libraries

♦ The majority of state library agencies (39 to 42 agencies) served special libraries8 through administration 

of LSTA grants, continuing education, and interlibrary loan referral.

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

libraries (table 7D). About two-thirds provided consulting services (33 agencies) or union list 

development (33 agencies). Over half of state library agencies (26 agencies) provided library planning, 

evaluation, and research to special libraries. 

♦ The state library agencies for California, Illinois, Montana, New Mexico, New York, Rhode Island, and 

Washington administered state aid to special libraries (table 7D).

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

Indiana, Nebraska, and Washington State reported certification of librarians of special libraries (table 

7D).

Services to Systems

♦ About two-thirds of state library agencies (32 to 35 agencies) 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). 

Thirty state library agencies provided library systems with services for the collection of library statistics.

♦ About half of state library agencies (25 to 29 agencies) served library systems through administration of 

state aid, 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 agencies reported 

certification of systems librarians (table 7E).

 

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.

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.
ix 

Service Outlets

♦ State library agencies reported a total of 141 service outlets—49 main or central outlets, 71 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 

(105 outlets); state government employees (96 outlets); blind and physically handicapped individuals 

(56 outlets); residents of state correctional institutions (37 outlets); and residents of other state 

institutions (25 outlets).10 

Collections 

♦ The number of book and serial volumes held by state library agencies totaled 22.9 million (table 10). 

Two state library agencies each had book and serial volumes over 2 million: New York had 2.5 million 

and Michigan had 2.3 million volumes. The number of book and serial volumes held by other state library 

agencies were 1,000,000 to 1,999,999 (3 states); 500,000 to 999,999 (11 states); 200,000 to 499,999 (9 

states); 100,000 to 199,999 (11 states); 50,000 to 99,999 (5 states); and under 50,000 (7 states). The 

state library agencies for Hawaii, Maryland and the District of Columbia do not maintain collections.11

♦ The number of serial subscriptions held by state library agencies totaled over 99,000,12 with 

Connecticut, Indiana, and New York holding the largest number (over 10,000 each) (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 (10 states); 500 to 999 (13 states); 100 to 499 (10 states); and 1 to 

99 (4 states). 

Staff 

♦ The total number of budgeted full-time-equivalent (FTE) positions in state library agencies was 3,986.5

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

accounted for 1,229.9 of these positions, or 30.9 percent of total FTE positions; other professionals 

accounted for 19.9 percent of total FTE positions; and other paid staff accounted for 49.3 percent. 

Rhode Island reported the largest percentage (60.0 percent) of ALA-MLS librarians, and Virginia reported 

the smallest (12.5 percent). 

♦ Most of the budgeted FTE positions (54.7 percent) were in library servi ces; 18.1 percent were in library 

development; 12.6 percent were in administration; and 14.6 percent were in other services13 such as 

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

development (table 13C).

 

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

user groups.

11 In Hawaii, the library collection is reported on the NCES Public Libraries Survey. 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.

13This includes staff not reported under administration, library development, or library services, such as staff 

in allied operations.
x 

Income14

♦ State library agencies reported a total income or revenue of over $1.2 billion in FY 2001 (table 16). Most 

income was from state sources (85.5 percent), followed by federal sources (12.7 percent) and other 

sources (1.8 percent).15

♦ State library agency income from state sources totaled $995.5 million, with almost two-thirds 

($650.1 million) designated for state aid to libraries (table 18). In nine 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 (96.3 percent). Five states (Hawaii, Idaho, New Hampshire, South Dakota, 

and Wyoming) and the District of Columbia targeted no state funds for aid to libraries.16

♦ Federal income totaled approximately $148.0 million, with 94.7 percent from LSTA grants (table 17).

Expenditures 

♦ State library agencies reported total expenditures of over $1.1 billion in FY 2001 (table 19). Over fourfifths (85.7 percent) of these expenditures were from state funds, followed by federal funds (12.7 percent) 

and funds from other sources (1.7 percent).

♦ In five states and the District of Columbia, over 90 percent of total expenditures were from state and the 

District of Columbia sources: District of Columbia (97.9 percent), Massachusetts (94.3 percent), 

Maryland (93.7 percent), Pennsylvania (93.4 percent), Rhode Island (92.0 percent), and New York 

(91.8 percent) (table 19). The state with the smallest percentage of expenditures from state sources 

was Utah (55.0 percent). 

♦ Financial assistance to libraries accounted for 71.1 percent of total expenditures of state library 

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

(50.6 percent) or public library systems (20.7 percent) (tables 24 and 26C). Most of these expenditures 

were from state sources (89.5 percent); 10.1 percent were from federal sources (table 21). 

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

totaled $23.9 million and accounted for 2.1 percent of total expenditures of state library agencies. Of 

states reporting such expenditures, Virginia reported the highest expenditure ($4.9 million) and West 

Virginia the lowest ($3,000).17

♦ Thirty-six state library agencies had a combined total of $27.8 million in grants and contracts 

 

14 Income is referred to as revenue in other NCES fiscal surveys.

15Federal 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. 

16The 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 for 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.

17Although Alaska reported allied operations (see table 2), the expenditures were not from the state library 

agency budget.
xi 

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

area of adult literacy and family literacy accounted for 87.1 percent of such expenditures, and prekindergarten learning accounted for 12.9 percent. Expenditures were focused exclusively on prekindergarten learning projects in five states (Connecticut, Kentucky, North Carolina, Utah, and Vermont) 

and exclusively on adult literacy and family literacy projects in nine states (Alabama, Illinois, Indiana, 

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

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.

2

The state library agencies (StLAs) are administrative offices and do not function as state libraries. However, outlets that are staffed and administered by the StLA, such as the 

Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (LBPH), or outlets serving residents of state institutions, are reported on the StLA Survey.

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 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 (FY) 2001. 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 15, 2001. The 

survey had a due date of February 15, 2002. 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 also 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 the 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 Web 

application required a response of –1 to a numeric item if the respondent could not provide the data. A response 

was also required to all alpha-numeric items, except items that could legitimately be left blank due to skip 

patterns. The respondent could not "lock" the 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 3 methods: the zero rule, the growth rule, or the sum rule. These 

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

methods are explained below.

♦ The Zero Rule. If the state did not report a value for FY 2001 and the value is 0 for FY 2000, then the 

value for FY 2001 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 2001 and the value for FY 2000 was greater 

than 0, the growth rate from FY 2000 to FY 2001 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 2000 data to obtain an estimate for FY 2001. The growth rate could be applied to an FY 2000 

imputed value. Note: The growth rule looked at values for FY 2000 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.

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

zero rule or the growth rule. The total was then imputed by adding up the details.

Survey Data Items

The FY 2001 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. 

Per capita data in tables 19 and 20 are based on official state population estimates from the NCES Public 

Libraries Survey data file for FY 2000. The state population data are also included on the FY2001 StLA data 

file.

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 2001 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 number Name Response rate

114 Library visits 88.2

116 On-site monitoring visits (LSTA and State grants) 98.0

223a Statewide database licensing expenditures (federal) 98.0
131

223b Statewide database licensing expenditures (state) 98.0

223c Statewide database licensing expenditures (other) 98.0

223d Statewide database licensing expenditures (total) 98.0

Reporting Period. The FY 2001 StLA Survey requested data for state fiscal year 2001, except for 

Part B—Governance and Part I—Staff which requested data as of October 1, 2001. The fiscal year of most 

states was July 1, 2000 to June 30, 2001. Exceptions were New York (April 1, 2000 to March 31, 2001); 

Texas (September 1, 2000 to August 31, 2001); and Alabama, the District of Columbia, and Michigan 

(October 1, 2000 to September 30, 2001).

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 state library agencies of 

Hawaii, Maryland, and the District of Columbia are administrative offices in the Department of Education, 

Hawaii State Public Library System; Department of Education, Division of Library Development and 

Services; and the District of Columbia Public Library, respectively. They are charged with statewide library 

development and administration of the LSTA funds and may provide additional services, but they do not 

function as state libraries. 

Unlike previous years, Hawaii and the District of Columbia now report all state public library funds since they 

administer the funds. Hawaii no longer reports data for the Hawaii State Library (which is also the main 

library of the Hawaii State Public Library System) since the StLA does not function as a state library. 

Hawaii has also discontinued reporting data for the Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped. These 

data are reported on the NCES Public Libraries Survey.
