Louisiana Academic Library Statistics 1994. Selected Statistics from the 1994 IPEDS Survey of Academic Libraries / David Atkins and Penny Beile.

This report is the unofficial, pre-publication summary of Louisiana 1994 IPEDS (Integrated Post-secondary Education Data System) academic library statistics forms. The primary impetus for this publication is to provide Louisiana academic library directors a timely and more user-friendly presentation of IPEDS statistics. Libraries are grouped according to criteria based on the Carnegie Classification for their institution. Carnegie classes include: Research; Doctoral; Medical; Comprehensive; Liberal Arts; Two Year; and Religion and Theology. For simplicity, the libraries in the "Research" group combine different Carnegie categories: Research I, Doctoral II and Medical School. A list of definitions for selected column headings precedes the statistical information. Statistics are provided for the following: staffing levels, by Carnegie category; expenditures, by Carnegie category; collections, by Carnegie category; services to patrons, by Carnegie category; staffing--FTE (Full-time Equivalent) and expenditures 1994 fiscal year (FY), by individual college; expenditures--FY 1994, by college; collections--FY 1994, by college; and services--FY 1994, by college. A copy of the 1994 IPEDS Academic Libraries Survey and general instructions is included. (MAS)
