SEC: Staffing

[gbhs <gbhs@midusa.net>]

Dear lm net friends,

HELP!  Here's the deal:  I am in a 9-12 library that serves 1,100
students and approximately 80 faculty members with a collection of
approximately 17,000 items excluding magazine holdings.  We have
currently 2 full-time certified librarians and one part-time clerk.  The
other librarian will be retiring this year after 25 years (she is truly
a library goddess and we wil miss her terribly!), and one of our
assistant superintendents has decided that we don't need to hire a
certified person in her place, rather a full-time clerk.  He is rarely
in our building and so doesn't really realize what we do, how often we
have classes in here for research, etc.  We do have around 20 faculty
members we've contacted so far who are writing letters and making phone
calls to our board members and administration in support of us, and from
what we hear, we are being heard, and some of the board are outraged
that this supe would even suggest this.

**Okay, enough rambling.**  I'd like to know what schools our size have
as far as staffing (certified and clerical, full and part-time).  Thanks
soooo much in advance!
