The Special Libraries' Association (SLA) has conducted salary surveys since 1967, triennially from 1967 to 1990, biennially from 1990 to 1996 and annually from 1997 forward. The objectives of the annual Salary Survey are to: (1) Collect and analyze systematic, accurate information about the salaries of special librarians and information professionals; (2) Establish a data bank to provide salary-related information to SLA members, their employers, library and information science students and faculty, library and information science professionals generally and human resource and compensation personnel; and (3) Enable SLA members to assess their own salaries in light of measurable characteristics, such as level of education, years of experience, job responsibilities, and geographic location. The 2012 survey was conducted online--as it has been for the past 10 surveys--with the questionnaire hosted on a secure Web site maintained by Association Research, Inc., (ARI). A total of 2,535 respondents (members and non-members of SLA located in the U.S. and Canada and SLA Europe chapter members) provided enough information to be included in the analytical database. This report begins with three career resources: (1) Staying Competitive in Today's Job Market (Carolyn J. Sosnowski); (2) Talking to Your Manager about a Raise or Promotion--Are you Ready? (Diane M. Goldstein); and (3) Using e-Portfolios to Showcase Your Work, Skills and Experience in Three Simple Steps (Lisa Chow and Sandra Sajonas). Information on the following topics is then provided: (1) Job Functions and Major Areas of Responsibility; (2) Job Title; and (3) Data Considerations and Table Interpretation. Lastly, data are organized into the following categories: (1) 2012 Mean and Median Salary Data; (2) United States Data (Salary Tables and Job Function Tables and Graphs); and (3) Canada Data (Salary Tables and Job Function Tables and Graphs).
