FTE (FULL-TIME EQUIVALENT CALCULATION) |
Record the number of hours per week used to compute FTE for all budgeted positions. How many hours per week does your library consider full time (35, 37, 40)?
This should be no more than 40 hours per week.
Q6.10-11: Count any other paid staff positions here that were not previously counted in questions 6.2 – 6.9.
Q6.6 and Q6.7: Previous questions relating to Librarian (certified). These now simply state Librarian, with revised definition of “Librarians with master’s degrees from programs of library and information studies accredited by the American Library Association.”
For question 6.2, *do not* list an interim or acting director. List only an official director who has been appointed by the board.
