In January 1983 the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) surveyed its members regarding their fund raising programs. A response rate of 85% (95 out of 113 libraries surveyed) was obtained. It was found that 85% of ARL member libraries had been involved in university-wide fund campaigns; that over 75% of the respondents had also conducted independent efforts to obtain outside moneys; that nearly all university campaigns requested over $1 million with the library's share averaging around 10%; and that library funding was used for acquisition of materials, automation, building, preservation, equipment purchases, network or cooperative entry, endowment of a position, staff development, or conduct of a planning program. A movement to multi-source funding from individuals, corporations, government agencies, and foundations was also noted. This document presents the survey report containing a sample questionnaire, ten ARL member reports on fund raising activities and job descriptions for fund raising officers, and examples of materials used in nine specific-need library campaigns and seven joint university-library campaigns. A list of information sources on nonprofit fund raising, a concise summary of related issues and trends, and an evaluation sheet for this ARL Systems and Procedures Exchange Center (SPEC) kit are also provided.
