time-specific snapshot of institutional attributes based on data
from 2002-3 and 2003-4. Institutions might be classified
differently using a different time frame. The table reflects
corrections of data that had been erroneously reported to the
Carnegie foundation. See http://www.carnegiefoundation.org for

(*) The ARL Library Investment Index takes into account total
library expenditures, salaries of professional staff members,
spending on library materials, and the number of professional

quality of collections, or success in meeting the needs of users.
