----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Salaries for faculty generally correspond to "reputation"(here to be taken in it's broadest sense). However, salaries for librarians vary tremendously, and correspond poorly, if at all, with any measure of so called reputation of the institution. Private institutions are notoriously noted for offering very low salaries for librarians. They are counting on the prestige factor to bring in the applicants, and, in some cases, I suspect, they simply don't care, as they'll mitigate it by proclaiming how money they have put into library resources (other than librarians), laboratories and faculty.
