Request for Proposals

Salary Study Research of
College and University Media/Instructional Technology Center Employees


The Board of Directors of the Consortium of College and University Media
Centers (CCUMC) seeks proposals to conduct a salary survey of  media
center/ information technology center employees for two- and four-year
postsecondary institutions.

Statement of Need/Purpose:
There appears to be no up-to-date salary information for media center
directors to use in setting salaries or to use for comparison of their
own salaries.  Requests continue to emerge on e-mail listservs and to
our CCUMC executive office for this type of information.  The Board of
Directors of CCUMC is commissioning this research to be completed by
December 15, 1999.

Scope of Project and Definition of Project Tasks:
The project should include a sample population of media centers and
information technology centers nationwide.  The project should not
include computer and telecommunications areas. The sample should
represent two- and four-year institutions, have a geographic balance,
and factor in years of experience on the job.  The job titles used in
the survey must be carefully defined, including a short descriptive
phrase, to ensure that the various titles for the same job duties are
recorded properly.   The proposal should define in detail the process to
be used, the areas to be covered,  and the audience to be surveyed.

General agreement regarding distribution and publication of survey
results:
The Consortium of College and University Media Centers (CCUMC) reserves
the sole publication and distribution rights of the survey results.  In
addition the successful researcher may be asked to present the results
at a CCUMC annual conference.

Submission of Proposals:

Deadline:
March 1, 1999

Send to:
Kay Cooper
University of Minnesota
Distance Education
540 Rarig Center
330 21st Ave. SE
Minneapolis, MN  55455

Define the approach and methodology to be taken for this project:
Explain in detail the process and methodology to be used, the categories
of employment to be studied, and the expected format of the results.


Request for Proposed Cost of Service:
Please provide a breakdown of all costs related to the survey.  Use
realistic figures, but be conservative in your project planning.  The
Board of Directors has a finite budget allotted to this project and the
researcher needs to respect the budget once agreement is reached.

Project Time Lines and Completion Date:
Project to be completed by December 15, 1999


Information about Bidder

Please provide any general information, vitae, and research experience
that qualifies you to conduct this survey for CCUMC.
