Personnel File Practices Survey, including questionnaires returned from academic, public and special libraries to the Section's Economic Status, Welfare and Fringe Benefits Committee, showing name and location of library and files content, access and retention policies. Some responses include comments and copies of relevant personnel regulations. For about 10% of the completed questionnaires the responding library is not identified.

Responses were solicited with the statement that all replies will be treated as confidential.
