The AALL 1997 Biennial Salary Survey is the only source for up to date
information about salaries for law librarians and other law library
employees who work in either firms, schools or state, court and county law
libraries. Information is cross-tabbed by position, region, gender,
education, years in current position, years of experience, and membership
in AALL.
The report summarizes salary information for all library types, with the
following sections that cover 1) academic libraries, 2) private
firm/corporate libraries, and 3) state, court and county libraries. The
survey is customized to provide information unique to the needs of each of
these three institutional types. Data is broken out by nine geographical
regions in the United States, and further broken down for most large cities
within those regions.
Survey instruments will be mailed to all AALL library directors and heads
of libraries on June 13, 1997. Responses are due on August 8th. The 1997
Biennial Salary Survey will be available for purchase on October 31, 1997,
$75 for AALL members, and $115 for non-members.
The American Association of Law Libraries was founded in 1906 to promote
and enhance the value of law libraries to the legal and public communities,
to foster the profession of law librarianship, and to provide leadership in
the field of legal information. Today, with over 4,800 members, the
Association represents law librarians and related professionals who are
affiliated with a wide range of institutions: law firms; law schools;
corporate legal departments; courts; and local, state and federal
government agencies.
