Charge: The Biennial Salary Survey and Organizational
Characteristics publication is the only source for up-to-date
comparative salary information for law librarians, broken
out (and cross-tabbed) by position, region, gender, education,
years in current position, years of library experience,
and membership in AALL. The Biennial Salary Survey
has been published since 1995, a period long enough to begin
establishing trend data, but still recent enough to benefit
from selected enhancements.
The Task Force to Review the Biennial Salary Survey
shall focus its work in two areas: the review of the survey
instrument and Biennial Salary Survey and recommendations
to improve the data made available via the Biennial Salary
Survey publication.
The Task Force shall
- Evaluate
the current survey instrument and publication to identify
data that may be ambiguous, misleading or incomplete.
- Consult
with the ALL-SIS, PLL, SCC-SIS and other appropriate entities
regarding the usefulness of the current survey instrument
and publication.
- Determine
other appropriate means for identifying member needs that
are not currently being met or that may benefit from improved
data collection.
- Consult
with Headquarters Staff and whoever collects the data
- Make
recommendations to the Director of Publications and the
Executive Director for changes to the survey instrument
and publication.
- Review the resulting survey instrument and publication and report on improvements in usefulness to the Executive Board.
Size: The Task Force shall consist of a chair and five members and serve until December 2003. An interim report will be submitted to the Executive Board at its Spring 2003 meeting and a final report will be submitted for the Fall 2003 Executive Board Meeting. A non-voting Executive Board liaison will be appointed and the staff liaison shall be the Director of Publications.
