Introduction

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

(FY) 2002.1 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. This cooperative effort makes possible the 100 percent response rate achieved for this survey. The 

frame or source of the list of respondents for this survey is based on the list that COSLA maintains of state library 

agencies. The FY 2002 survey is the ninth in the StLA series. The data upon which this report is based are final. 

Data from previous administrations of the survey have been revised, and a complete list of references can be found 

on page 195 of this report.

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. Some 

state libraries perform allied operations, services not ordinarily considered a state library agency function. These 

special operations may include maintaining state archives, managing state records, conducting legislative research 

for the state, or operating a museum or art gallery.

The state library agencies of the District of Columbia, Hawaii, and Maryland are different from the other state 

libraries in a variety of ways. They are administrative offices without a separate state library collection. In the 

District of Columbia, which is treated as a state for reporting purposes, 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. In Hawaii, the state library is located in the Hawaii State Public Library System. State law designates 

Enoch Pratt Free Library’s central library as the Maryland State Library Resource Center. These collections are 

reported on the NCES Public Libraries Survey (PLS) and thus are not reported on the StLA Survey, to avoid 

duplication.

The state library agencies of the District of Columbia, Hawaii, and Maryland administer LSTA funds and report 

LSTA revenues and expenditures in this report. In order to eliminate duplicative reporting, state funds for aid to 

libraries for the District of Columbia and Hawaii state library agencies are reported on the PLS, rather than on the 

StLA Survey, because of the unique situation of these two state agencies.

The District of Columbia and Maryland state library agencies administer and staff the Library for the Blind and 

Physically Handicapped (LBPH). The Library of Congress owns the LBPH collections.

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; (5) library and public policy researchers; and (6) the public, 

journalists, and others. Decisionmakers use this survey to obtain information about services and fiscal practices.

Organization of This Report

This report presents selected findings and background information about the survey. The body of this report is 

composed of tables providing an overview of state library agencies during the 2002 fiscal year. The tables present 

data on 10 main topics. 

ß Governance—describes the organizational location of state library agencies within state governments.

ß Allied and other special operations—identifies functions executed by the state library that are usually beyond 

the scope of state library agencies.

ß Electronic services and information—describes the availability of statewide databases and the facilitation of 

statewide electronic networks.

ß Library development services—identifies activities and programs that support public, academic, school, and 

special libraries.

ß Service outlets—describes the availability of state library locations and bookmobiles providing services to the 

public or specific constituencies.

ß Collections—characterizes state library holdings.

ß Staff—characterizes staff and the functions they perform.

ß Income—identifies various sources of revenue.

ß Expenditures—describes how state library funds are expended.

ß Public policy issues—presents special projects sponsored by state library agencies.

Finally, relevant references and five appendixes supply supporting information. Appendix A provides technical 

information about the survey, data processing, and response rates. A list of the state library agencies participating 

in the Universal Service (E-rate discount) Program can be found in appendix B. State library agencies listed in 

appendix C have received federal income other than LSTA state library allocations. Appendix D contains the survey 

instrument, instructions, and definitions of terms used in the survey and this report. A reference list, consisting of 

reports and data files from previous administrations of this survey, appears in appendix E.

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

collections, its 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.

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]). 

 

3

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 (SASS) collects data from elementary and secondary school library media 

centers.

Findings

Governance

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

government (table 1). In two states (Arizona and Tennessee), the state library agency is located in the 

legislative branch. Sixteen state libraries are independent agencies within the executive branch.

♦ Of the state library agencies located in the executive branch, approximately two-thirds (33 states) are part of a 

larger agency (tables 2). 

♦ The state libraries of Louisiana, New Hampshire, New Mexico, and North Carolina are part of the Department of 

Cultural Resources (table 2). The Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Missouri, and Washington state library agencies 

are part of their Department of State. In 12 states, the agency is located in the Department of Education.

Allied and Other Special Operations

♦ Allied operations are those for which state libraries provide services not ordinarily considered a state library 

agency function. These special operations may include maintaining state archives, managing state records, 

conducting legislative research for the state, or operating a museum or art gallery.

♦ Fifteen state library agencies reported having one or more allied operations (table 3).

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

resource centers or reference/information service centers (table 3). State library agencies in 27 states hosted 

or provided funding for a State Center for the Book. 

♦ 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 3). 

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.

♦ Thirteen state library agencies reported expenditures for allied operations (table 4). These expenditures totaled 

$24.2 million. Of states reporting such expenditures, Virginia reported the highest expenditure ($4.7 million) 

and the lowest expenditure for allied operations was West Virginia with $3,000. The StLA Survey requests 

information about state library expenditures for allied operations. The Alaska and New Hampshire state library 

agencies have allied operations, but expenditures for those operations are not from the state library agency 

budget.
4

Electronic Services and Information

Electronic Networks, Databases, and Catalogs

♦ Most state library agencies (46 states and the District of Columbia) planned or monitored the development of 

electronic networks (table 5). State library agencies in 38 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 45 states and the 

District of Columbia supported the development of full text or data files via electronic networks.4

♦ All 50 states provided or facilitated library access to online databases through subscription, lease, license, 

consortial membership, or agreement (table 5). 

♦ With the exceptions of Idaho and Washington State, all state library agencies facilitated or subsidized 

electronic access to a union catalog, a list of titles of works, usually periodicals, in physically separate library 

collections (table 6). The union catalog includes location data that indicate libraries in which a given item may 

be found in the holdings of other libraries in the state. Most state library agencies provided access to the 

holdings of other libraries in the state via a web-based union catalog (47 agencies). Twenty-one state libraries 

offered union catalog access via a Telnet gateway. Seven state libraries provided access on CD-ROMs, and 12 

states provided electronic access to the union catalog in some other way.

♦ Forty-seven state library agencies reported combined expenditures for statewide database licensing for a total 

of $53.2 million (table 7). Of these states, Texas had the highest expenditure ($9.2 million) among states that 

reported expenditures for statewide database licensing, while three states (Alaska, North Dakota, and Rhode 

Island) spent less than $20,000. All state library agencies with such expenditures provided statewide database 

licensing services to public libraries in their states. At least two-thirds of state library agencies provided 

statewide database licensing services to the following user groups: academic, school, and special libraries; 

and other state agencies.

♦ For 10 state libraries, 100 percent of their statewide database licensing expenditures came from federal 

sources (table 8). State funds accounted for 100 percent of 14 agencies’ statewide database licensing 

expenditures.

Internet Access

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

providing Internet training or consulting to state or local library staff or state library end users; 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 9).

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

number from 1 to 4 (12 agencies); 5 to 9 (16 agencies); 10 to 19 (10 agencies); 20 to 29 (4 agencies); 30 to 39 

(3 agencies); and 40 or more (3 agencies) (table 10). Louisiana reported the largest number of public-use 

Internet terminals (49). Of 48 state libraries’ Internet workstations available for public use, 567 were owned by 

the state library agency and 63 were placed in the library by other agencies or groups.

 

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.
5

u The fastest Internet connection at most state libraries is the T1 line at 27 library agencies, followed by 15 

states and the District of Columbia accessing the Internet using T3 lines (table 10). The fastest Internet 

connections in the Arizona, Idaho, and Oklahoma state libraries operate at 100 million bits per second (mbps). 

The Arkansas state library’s fastest connection transmits data at 90–135 mbps and New Mexico’s state library 

is connected to the Internet at a speed of 10 mbps. The Pennsylvania state library agency’s fastest Internet 

connection uses DS-3 lines, which transmit at 5–10 mbps.

♦ State library agencies for 32 states and the District of Columbia were applicants to the Universal Service (Erate discount), program established by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) under the 

Telecommunications Act of 1996 (P.L. 104–104) (appendix B).5

Library Development Services

Services to Public Libraries

♦ Public libraries serve all residents of a given community, district, or region, and typically receive financial 

support, in whole or part, from public funds.

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

grants; collection of library statistics; continuing education programs; and library planning, evaluation, and 

research (table 11A). Nearly all state library agencies (47 to 50 agencies) provided consulting services, 

interlibrary loan referral services, library legislation preparation or review, and review of technology plans for the 

E-rate discount program.

♦ Services to public libraries provided by 40 to 45 state library agencies were administration of state aid, literacy 

program support, reference referral services, state standards or guidelines, statewide public relations or library 

promotion campaigns, and summer reading program support (table 11A). Two- thirds of state library agencies 

(34 agencies) provided union list6 development. 

♦ Thirteen state library agencies reported accreditation of public libraries, and 24 state library agencies reported 

certification of public librarians (table 11A).

Services to Academic Libraries

♦ Academic libraries are integral parts of colleges, universities, or other academic institutions for postsecondary 

education, organized and administered to meet the needs of students, faculty, and affiliated staff.

♦ Over two-thirds of state library agencies (36 to 43 agencies) provided the following services to academic 

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

referral services (table 11B). The state library agencies for California, Illinois, Montana, and New York 

administered state aid to academic libraries.

♦ Thirty-one state library agencies provided consulting services, 26 states and the District of Columbia provided 

union list development, and 23 states and the District of Columbia provided statewide public relations/library 

promotion campaigns to academic libraries (table 11B). 

 

5Under the E-rate discount 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.

6A 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.
6

♦ No state library agency accredits academic libraries (table 11B). The state library agencies in Indiana, 

Massachusetts, New Mexico and Washington reported certification of academic librarians.

Services to School Library Media Centers

♦ School library media centers (LMCs) are integral parts of the educational program of elementary and 

secondary schools, with materials and services that meet the curricular, information, and recreational needs of 

students, teachers, and administrators.

♦ At least two-thirds of state library agencies (34 to 42) provided administration of LSTA grants, continuing 

education, interlibrary loan referral services, or reference referral services to LMCs (table 11C).

♦ Thirty-one agencies provided consulting services, and 25 agencies provided library planning/evaluation research 

or statewide public relations/library promotions campaigns to LMCs (table 11C).

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

(table 11C). 

♦ No state library agency reported accreditation of school library media centers, but Indiana and Massachusetts 

reported certification of library media specialists (table 11C).

Services to Special Libraries

♦ Special libraries are located in business firms, professional associations, government agencies, or other 

organized groups. A special library may be maintained by a parent organization to serve a specialized 

clientele; or an independent library may provide materials or services, or both, to the public, a segment of the 

public, or other libraries. Special libraries include libraries in state institutions. The scope of special library 

collections and services is limited to the subject interests of the host or parent institution. Over two-thirds of 

state library agencies (38 to 44 agencies) served special libraries through administration of LSTA grants, 

continuing education, interlibrary loan referral, and reference referral services (table 11D). 

♦ Thirty-one state library agencies provided consulting services to special libraries, and 26 agencies provided 

union list development or library planning, evaluation, and research (table 11D). Thirty-eight state agencies 

provided reference referral services to special libraries.

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

Washington administered state aid to special libraries (table 11D).

♦ The Oklahoma state library agency accredits special libraries, and the library agencies for Indiana, 

Massachusetts, Oklahoma, and Washington State reported certification of librarians of special libraries (table 

11D).
7

Services to Systems

♦ Systems are groups 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.

♦ Two-thirds of state library agencies administered LSTA grants to library systems (table 11E).

♦ Furthermore, at least half of state library agencies (26 to 31 agencies) provided the following services to library 

systems: consulting services; continuing education; interlibrary loan referral; library legislation preparation or 

review; library planning; evaluation and research; administration of state aid; collection of library statistics; 

reference referral; and review of technology plans for the E-rate discount program (table 11E). 

♦ Six state library agencies reported library system accreditation, and seven agencies reported certification of 

librarians of library systems (table 11E).

Service Outlets

♦ State library service outlets have regular hours of service in which state library staff are present to serve users. 

The state library, as part of its regular operation, pays the staff and all service costs. The main or central outlet 

is a single unit library where the principal collections are located and handled. Other outlets have separate 

quarters, a permanent basic collection of books and/or other materials, permanent paid staff, and a regular 

schedule of hours open to users. Bookmobiles are trucks or vans specially equipped to carry books and other 

library materials. They serve as traveling branch libraries.

♦ State library agencies reported a total of 137 service outlets—47 main or central outlets, 70 other outlets 

(excluding bookmobiles), and 20 bookmobiles (table 12). The user groups receiving library services through 

these outlets, and the number of outlets serving them, included the general public (99 outlets); state 

government employees (91 outlets); blind and physically handicapped individuals (57 outlets); residents of 

state correctional institutions (34 outlets); and residents of other state institutions (25 outlets).7 

Collections 

♦ The number of book and serial volumes held by state library agencies totaled 22.6 million (table 14). 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 books and serial volumes in the Connecticut, New Jersey, and Texas state 

libraries exceeded 1 million. The state library agencies for Hawaii, Maryland, and the District of Columbia do 

not maintain collections.8

 

7

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

groups.

8

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. These collections 

are reported on the NCES Public Libraries Survey (PLS) (collections of public libraries that serve as state resource 

centers are not reported on the StLA Survey, as these data are more appropriately reported on the PLS). 
8

♦ Forty-one state library agencies held a total of 29.5 million uncatalogued government documents (table 14). 

The states with the largest collections of uncatalogued government documents were California (4.3 million) and 

Illinois (3.3 million). Three other state library agencies had a collection that exceeded two million uncatalogued 

government documents: Arkansas (2.1 million), Ohio (2.5 million), and Oklahoma (2.6 million). 

Staff 

♦ The total number of budgeted full-time-equivalent (FTE) positions in state library agencies was 3,832 (table 17). 

Librarians with American Library Association-accredited Master of Library Science degrees (ALA-MLS) 

accounted for 1,201 positions, or 31 percent of total FTE positions; other professionals accounted for 20 

percent of total FTE positions; and other paid staff accounted for 49 percent. Rhode Island reported the largest 

percentage (63 percent) of ALA-MLS librarians, and Virginia reported the smallest (12 percent). 

♦ Most of the budgeted FTE positions (55 percent) were in library services; 19 percent were in library 

development; 12 percent were in administration; and 15 percent were in other services,9 such as allied 

operations (table 18). Some two-thirds of the library development positions were for public library development 

(table 19).

Income10

♦ Sources of state library income or revenue are the federal government, the state government, and other 

sources, such as local, regional, or multijurisdictional sources. State library agencies may also receive income 

from private sources, such as foundations, corporations, Friends of Libraries groups, and individuals. State 

libraries may also generate revenue through fees for service or fines.

♦ State library agencies reported a total income or revenue of close to $1.2 billion in FY 2002 (table 23). Most 

income was from state sources (84 percent), followed by federal sources (13 percent) and other sources (3 

percent).11

♦ Federal income totaled approximately $150.0 million, with 95 percent, or $142.0 million, from LSTA 

grants (table 24).

♦ State library agency income from state sources totaled $971.1 million, with two-thirds ($648.0 million) 

designated for state aid to libraries (table 25)12. In 13 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 percent). Five states (Hawaii, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Vermont, and Wyoming) and the District of 

Columbia did not target state funds for aid to libraries.

♦ 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 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 

 

9

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

operations.

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

11Federal 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. 

12 State aid to libraries does not include funds used to administer the State Library Agency or to deliver Statewide 

services to libraries or citizens where the service is administered directly by the StLA; State funds allocated for 

school library operations when the StLA is under the State education agency; or federal funds.
9

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.

♦ Three states (Hawaii, New Hampshire, and South Dakota) and the District of Columbia targeted 100 percent of 

their state income on state library agency operations (table 25).

Expenditures 

♦ State library agencies reported total expenditures of over $1.1 billion in FY 2002 (table 26). Over four-fifths (85 

percent) of these expenditures were from state funds, followed by federal funds (13 percent) and funds from 

other sources (2 percent).

♦ The state library agencies with the highest total expenditures per capita were those for the District of Columbia 

with $47.99; Hawaii with $20.22; and Delaware with $11.88 (table 26). The agencies with total expenditures of 

less than $2 per capita were those for Arizona, Indiana, Iowa, Texas, and Washington 

♦ Operating expenditures are the current and recurrent costs necessary for the provision of services by the state 

library agencies. Operating expenditures include LSTA expenditures for statewide services conducted directly 

by the state library and administration of the LSTA funds. Not included are the LSTA expenditures for grants 

and other funds distributed to libraries. Seventy-five percent of state library operating expenditures are from 

state sources, and 22 percent are from federal sources (table 27). 

♦ The state libraries with the highest per capita operating expenditures were Connecticut ($5.58), Alaska ($4.67), 

Vermont ($4.37), Wyoming ($3.56), and Montana and South Dakota ($3.40) (table 27). Eighteen states 

reported total per capita operating expenditures under $1.00.

♦ Financial assistance to libraries accounted for 70 percent of total expenditures of state library agencies (table 

31). Fifty-one percent of such expenditures were targeted to individual public libraries, and 21 percent went to 

public library systems (table 33B). 

Public Policy Issues

♦ Thirty-six state library agencies had a combined total of $27.1 million in grant and contract expenditures to 

assist public libraries with state or federal education reform initiatives (table 36). The area of adult literacy and 

family literacy accounted for 87 percent of such expenditures, and pre-kindergarten learning accounted for 13 

percent.

State library agencies were asked to report all allied operations, regardless of whether the allied operations were funded from the agency's budget. An allied operation is an office, bureau, 

division, center, or other organizational unit or service within an StLA with staff, mission, and resources to provide service not ordinarily considered a state library agency function. It is 

characterized by having: (a) a specific mission, which may be a part of the StLA's overall mission statement; (b) staff assigned for that mission; that staff usually includes professionals other

than librarians (such as historians, archivists, curators, etc.) appropriate to its mission; (c) a high-level manager or supervisor who reports to the StLA chief officer or to a deputy designated 

by the chief officer; and (d) financial resources clearly identified and managed for the operation.

3Union list development—A 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.

NOTE: 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.

Special Library—A library in a state institution, 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.

1Two of these three "Other outlets" serve other libraries, not individuals.

2The 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.

3The state library agency is an administrative office only. It does not function as a state library and has no service outlets.

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; and (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) 2002. 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.

History of Survey

The State Library Agencies (StLA) Survey is 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 U.S. Census Bureau, and NCES. The effort was based on the recommendations of COSLA in 

April 1992 and continuing discussions throughout 1992 which culminated in the appointment of the State 

Library Agencies Survey Steering Committee in November 1992.

The StLA Survey Steering Committee includes the following representatives: (1) Four Chief Officers 

(including the chair of the COSLA Research and Statistics Committee); (2) the American Library 

Association (the director of the ALA Office for Research and Statistics); (3) the Association of Specialized 

and Cooperative Library Agencies (ASCLA) (usually the president or past president of the State Library 

Agencies or Networking Sections); (4) NCES (the associate commissioner and director of the NCES unit 

responsible for the StLA Survey, the survey director, and other staff NCES may assign); (5) NCLIS (the 

executive director and staff as assigned); (6) the U.S. Census Bureau (one or two Governments Bureau 

program or technical staff); (7) the Institute of Library and Museum Services (IMLS) (the director or a deputy 

the director may assign); (8) the Federal-State Cooperative System (FSCS) for Public Library Data (two 

FSCS state data coordinators appointed by NCES in consultation with NCLIS and drawn from the FSCS 

leadership, with responsibility in their states for providing StLA survey data); and (9) other expert persons as 

appropriate and determined by NCES. 

The StLA Survey was developed to provide (1) Chief Officers of State Library Agencies, (2) policy makers 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 staff and members, 

(5) library and public policy researchers, and (6) the public, journalists, and others with information about 

state library agencies, and to complement data collected regularly by NCES on public, academic, and 

school libraries, and educational institutions. The StLA Survey replaced the annual COSLA Financial 

Survey of State Library Agencies. 

The StLA Survey has been conducted annually starting with the FY 1994 data collection. The survey has 

had 100 percent participation by the state library agencies in the 50 states and the District of Columbia (51 

total) since its inception. The survey was developed under NCES contract by the Director of the Library 

Research Service, Colorado Department of Education, in consultation with the StLA Survey Steering 

Committee. The fiscal years 1994–98 surveys were conducted using DOS-based survey software. The FY 

99 survey was redesigned to collect data over the Internet via a Web-based reporting system. 

A technical report (Evaluation of the NCES State Library Agencies Survey—An Examination of Duplication 

and Definitions in the Fiscal Section of the State Library Agencies Survey) was published in September 

1999 and is available on the NCES web site at http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=1999312. 

The report, prepared for NCES by the Governments Division of the U.S. Census Bureau, evaluates selected 

fiscal data collected on the survey. The evaluation had two objectives: (1) to check for duplication of fiscal 

data collected on this survey with compliance data collected on the Annual Financial and Performance 

Report forms of the Office of Library Programs, a former agency of the U.S. Department of Education, and 

(2) to analyze selected definitions of fiscal items on the survey.
142

Survey Instrument

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

application includes a user guide and tutorial explaining its features and operation, the data entry form and 

instructions, 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 January 15, 2003. The 

survey had a due date of March 31, 2003. 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 C, E, and N, or about 20 percent 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.

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. 
143

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. 

♦ The Zero Rule. If the state did not report a value for FY 2002 and the value is zero for FY 2001, then 

the value for FY 2002 was set to 0. This rule was applied first, on the assumption that there was no 

change since FY 2001. The 0 in the prior year could be an imputed value.

♦ The Growth Rule. If the state did not report a value for FY 2002 and the value for FY 2001 was 

greater than 0, the growth rate from FY 2001 to FY 2002 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 2001 data to obtain an estimate for FY 2002. The growth rate could be applied to an 

FY 2001 imputed value. Note: The growth rule looked at values for FY 2001 only, as states that 

cannot report a particular item tend to have ongoing problems reporting that 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 2002 survey collected data on 436 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. 

Note: The data collected for new survey items 239-245 in Part N (see survey instrument in appendix D) 

were not included on the data file or in this report due to significant reporting problems. NCES plans to 

collect the data in the future, following revision of the definitions.

Per capita data in tables 19 and 20 are based on state population estimates as of July 1, 2002, provided by 

the U.S. Census Bureau. The state population estimates are also included on the 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 2002 StLA Survey achieved a 100 percent unit response rate. 

Item Response. Item response rates were calculated by dividing the total number of state library agencies 

reporting a specific item by the total number of state library agencies in the survey universe (51). Most items 

had a 100 percent response rate. The following items had response rates below 100 percent:

Reporting Period. The FY 2002 StLA Survey requested data for state fiscal year 2002, except for 

Part B—Governance and Part I—Staff which requested data as of October 1, 2002. The fiscal year of most 

states was July 1, 2001 to June 30, 2002. Exceptions were New York (April 1, 2001 to March 31, 2002); 

Texas (September 1, 2001 to August 31, 2002); and Alabama, the District of Columbia, and Michigan 

(October 1, 2001 to September 30, 2002).

Using the Data to Make Comparisons. Missing data were imputed. (The states with imputed data are 

footnoted in the tables.) 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.

service within an StLA with staff, mission, and resources to provide service not ordinarily 

considered a state library agency function. It is characterized by having:

040 State archives. This operation is responsible for preserving and servicing noncurrent official 

records of State organizations and institutions that are of continuing value (1) to the legal and 

administrative functioning of State government, (2) for the verification and protection of the 

rights of individuals, and (3) for historical and other research. It usually includes records of 

antecedent colonial and territorial governments. Materials are stored, arranged, and described 

so that needed records can be found readily.

041 Primary State legislative research organization. This operation conducts research and gathers, 

digests, and analyzes information 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.

042 State history museum/art gallery. This operation collects, preserves, and displays cultural 

artifacts and/or works of art related to the State's political, social, economic, and cultural history.

of business and community organizations. Civic associations and non-profit cultural 

organizations, or associations that are not government agencies, should be considered 

community organizations. Civic associations may include parent-teacher associations, unions 

and similar organizations. Non-profit cultural organizations may include historical societies, 

archives or similar organizations.
