The Survey of Higher Education Faculty

The Survey of Higher Education Faculty is a series of twelve reports based on a survey of 555 full time higher education faculty in the United States and Canada. An initial representative sample of 350 colleges was chosen from the more than 4,500 accredited colleges in the United States and Canada. Lists of faculty from these colleges were aggregated and randomly sampled. Studies in this series include reports on trends in research, teaching, tenure, faculty use of the academic library and other topics. Data is broken out by 12 criteria including academic rank, field of study, tenure status, age of faculty member, political opinions of the faculty member, size of college, type of college, USA or Canada and other factors.

The Survey of Higher Education Faculty: Use of Academic Library Special Collections 
(ISBN 1-57440-135-1) presents data on how college faculty use special collections for

and in specific areas such as ease of use, ease of finding them in library catalogs, ease of 
finding them online, ease of obtaining reproductions and photocopies, and satisfaction 
with their hours of access, among other issues.  The study also presents precise data on 
how often faculty visit special collections and how often they recommend their use to 
students and professional colleagues.
