ARL Introduces Expenditures-Focused Index of University Library Members
Beginning with the ARL Statistics 2005–06 data, the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) is introducing an Expenditures-Focused Index of the Association’s university library members for describing the amount of resources invested in these institutions…The new index is composed of four variables that are part of the historical data elements in which university ARL libraries most resemble one another: (a) total library expenditures, (b) salaries and wages of professional staff, (c) total library materials expenditures, and (d) total professional and support staff.

The Expenditures-Focused Index for 2005–06 is freely available on the ARL Web site http://www.arl.org/stats/index/…
