June 26, 1997. American Association of Law Libraries (AALL) will publish
the 1997 Biennial Salary Survey once again in collaboration with Gordon S.
Black Corporation, an independent market research firm in Rochester, New
York and the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) in Washington D.C.

Survey questionnaires were mailed today all AALL library directors and
heads of libraries. All who receive the questionnaires are strongly urged
to participate. All law librarians are asked to encourage their library
directors to complete the survey. Completed questionnaires are due on
August 8, 1997.

The 1997 Biennial Salary Survey will be available for shipment and purchase
on October 31, 1997, $75 for AALL members, and $115 for non-members.
Orders forms for advance purchase will be available at the AALL Store at

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.
