LISU Materials Fund and Budget Survey 2003-2005 1

Introduction

Background

Compilations of public library expenditure and estimates have been published since 1976 –originally under the auspices of LIBTRAD (the Working Party on Library and Book TradeRelations), more recently by CLAIM and LISU. While the content and form have changed over theyears, the essential aim has remained the same: a simple and immediate statement of expenditure andexpenditure intentions by local authorities. In recent years, summaries of staffing, numbers ofservice points and opening hours have been added, since these are the areas usually affected bymajor changes in budgets.

The aim of the survey is to enable public librarians to compare their own spending expectations withthose of other authorities, and with recent history. A prompt response to the survey – and consistentcalculation within an authority – is most important, since the main objective is to calculate percentagechange from year to year. It is also interesting to see how, within a year, actual expenditurecompared with the original estimates.

Note that these figures are not intended as performance indicators. A detailed per capita analysis ofspending can be found in CIPFA Actuals1 and CIPFA Estimates2.

Summary of findings

An increase of 4.1% was recorded for 2003/04 in total library expenditure in the UK as a whole,down on last year’s forecast of 6.9% and building on the increase of 7.7% reported last year. Afurther rise, of 4.4%, is predicted for 2004/05. In addition to this, an increase of 3.0% was recordedin materials expenditure, partially reversing the decrease of 3.9% in the previous year. Audio-visualexpenditure continues to grow, with a 12.5% rise in 2003/04 and a further 16.9% increase forecastfor 2004/05. Expenditure on books increased by just 0.2%, however, with a decrease of 1.5%forecast for 2004/05.

Total staff numbers increased by 0.7%, over half of which were professional staff. There was no netchange in the number of service points, but 16 authorities reported closing one or more. Aggregateopening hours increased by 3.6%, with a further increase of 1.9% expected in 2004/05.

Over the two year period, total library expenditure is expected to increase at a higher rate thangeneral inflation in many authorities, with 46 out of the 158 which gave both figures anticipating arise of more than 10% over the period 2002/03 to 2004/05. With regard to materials expenditure,the average increase of 3.0% this year, and the further 2.1% forecast for 2004/05, is a good sign,and is hopefully indicative that the squeeze on materials expenditure in recent years is coming to anend.

Arrangement and use of the report

The survey covers the following themes: total library expenditure; total materials expenditure;expenditure on books and on audio-visual materials; professional and total staff; number of servicepoints and hours open.

2 LISU Materials Fund and Budget Survey 2003-2005

The detailed tables give information for the previous year, the year which has just finished, and theyear which has just started (estimates). This allows comparison between 2002/03 actuals and2003/04 actuals, as well as between 2003/04 and 2004/05 estimates. Information on the themesintroduced above is presented in three main sections, as follows:

1. A commentary which includes summary tables by type of authority for each theme(pages�4-15). These show overall percentage changes by sector from year to year. Changesare calculated on the reduced set of authorities which have provided data over both years for‘actuals’ and ‘estimates’ respectively. All expenditure figures in these tables have beenrounded to the nearest thousand pounds, but totals for England and the UK, and all percentagechanges have been calculated using the exact figures.

2. Summary tables, with each table listing every authority under its sector. This summarises allinformation provided on the particular theme with the two year percentage changes and percapita figures for 2002/03 for the main expenditure data (pages 16-45).

3. Authority tables, one page per authority, including all the information submitted by eachauthority – from which the summary tables are drawn (pages 47-254). Authorities are listedin alphabetical order by type of authority. The English authorities are shown first, and includethe London boroughs, the metropolitan districts, the unitary authorities and the Englishcounties. These are followed by figures for Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

There are also Appendices noting price increases for general expenditure – information whichneeds to be considered alongside authority budget figures.

Response rate

The overall response rate this year was down on last year, at 81%. The response from Wales wasparticularly poor, as shown in Table�1.

Responses received

Questionnaires sent

We are grateful to all those who returned their questionnaires in good time and who have respondedto chasing and enquiries. In some cases the reason for delay or non-return has been genuineuncertainty as to the size of the budget: in some authorities budgets are only agreed several monthsinto the financial year. Another frequently cited reason was that the authority’s books had not been


closed in time to meet the deadline for return of questionnaires. For these reasons, and for the fourthtime, the survey was undertaken a little later in the year.

Note that one return was received too late for inclusion in the analysis for the commentary; it hasbeen included in the main data tables and summary tables.

Northern Ireland

Note that there are only five Education and Library Boards covering the whole of Northern Ireland.In such circumstances, and with a response rate of 60% recorded this year representing just threeEducation and Library Boards, unusual activity in any one authority can have a disproportionateeffect on the totals and percentage changes for the region as a whole.

General Consultancy and Statistical Benchmarking Services

Executives from UK public library authorities who would like information about some of thefeatures covered in this volume tailored more closely to their own operation – and over a longerperiod of time – may care to enquire about the general consultancy and statistical benchmarkingservices offered by LISU.


Commentary

Total library expenditure

As Tables 2 and 3 below show, total library expenditure in the UK rose by 4.1% in 2003/04, with allsectors, except Wales, experiencing overall increases. This does not compare favourably with lastyear’s forecast, where an increase of almost 7% was anticipated. The metropolitan districts and theEnglish counties fared the best, with increases of 7.3% and 7.1% respectively in total libraryexpenditure. In order to keep pace with general inflation – as measured by the Retail Price Index(Appendix�D) – expenditure for 2003/04 should have shown an increase of 2.1%. In effecttherefore, total library expenditure was up in real terms by around 2 percentage points.

The prognosis for 2004/05 is optimistic, with a further increase of 4.4% forecast for the UK.Scotland predicts the highest increase (11.8%), with Wales anticipating a further decrease of 1.1%.

Table 4 shows the percentage difference in total library expenditure between the 2003/04 actuals andoriginal estimates. The estimating process this year has not been particularly precise with thepercentage difference varying from 0.4% in the English unitary authorities, to a substantial 22.9% inNorthern Ireland. Overall, the estimates and actuals for 2003/04 differed by 3.2%, compared to adifference of 5.4% in 2002/03.

Looking at the percentage change for the 2004/05 estimates on 2002/03 actuals shown in thesummary tables, we can identify individual authorities which have enjoyed substantial increases orsuffered falls in total library expenditure. An authority is described as experiencing a substantialincrease if the increase over the two years is three times that of the UK average (in this case 6.0%).All authorities experiencing decreases have been listed. To make this information more meaningful,the authorities are classified according to their comparative funding position (high, low, or average,relative to each sector) – deduced from their 2002/03 per capita expenditure, and ordered by sector.

Those institutions described as experiencing either an increase or decrease from a high base arethose whose per capita value exceeds the upper quartile – these fall within the top 25%. Authoritiesincreasing or decreasing expenditure from a low base are those whose per capita value is below thelower quartile, causing them to fall in the lower 25%. Those authorities from an average base are theremainder whose per capita value falls between the lower and upper quartile values.

It is worth noting that the percentage differences are calculated using the 2004/05 estimates over the2002/03 actuals, and so caution must be exercised in the interpretation of the results. As can be seenin the individual authority tables, there is often a large discrepancy between the original estimategiven for a year and the actual total provided subsequently.

Total materials expenditure

This analysis includes books, newspapers, periodicals, binding, audio-visual, CD-ROM, onlineinformation services and other materials for public use. The breakdown by type of authority is givenin Tables 5 and 6. The 3.0% increase in total materials expenditure for the UK compares to anincrease of 3.9% last year. If estimates are accurate, then 2004/05 will see a further rise of 2.1%.

Looking at each type of authority, materials expenditure in Northern Ireland increased by 40.4%,largely due to two of the three responding authorities recording increases of 67% and 48%.Elsewhere rises in materials expenditure ranged from 2.1% in the London boroughs, to 3.8% in themetropolitan districts. Scotland experienced the only decrease (2.2%).

The overall increases in materials expenditure, both actual and forecast, are lower than for totallibrary expenditure, indicating further erosion in the proportion of library expenditure on materialsfor public use, although some authorities fare better than others in this respect.

Table 7 summarises actual materials expenditure as a percentage of total library expenditure for2002/03 and 2003/04. There was a fall of 0.8% between 2002/03 and 2003/04 so that materials nowaccount for 12.3% of total library expenditure. If we look back at figures from the LISU database ofpublic library statistics (based on the CIPFA Actuals) for five and ten years ago – 15.1% in 1998/99and 17.4% in 1993/94 – there is a clear and continuing downward trend.

It is known that many authorities are obtaining discounts in excess of the 10% that was permittedbefore the discontinuation of the Net Book Agreement, and this may have a favourable impactoverall upon book purchasing – as may the establishment of purchasing consortia amongst publiclibraries. However, there is as yet no reliable information upon this complex matter, and the featureof better discounts may be counterbalanced by many other factors which come into play: increaseddiscounts may be at the cost of processing and other services formerly provided by suppliers;authorities with heavy purchases of reference and technical material are less likely to obtain higherdiscounts; publishers and suppliers may both raise selling prices to make up for the effects of largerdiscounts.

By looking at the percentage change for the 2004/05 estimates on 2002/03 actuals – in the summarytables, we can again identify individual authorities which have made (or will make) substantialincreases or decreases in their materials funds. ‘Substantial’ increases are here defined asapproximately three times the national average (in this case 4.4%) i.e. increases of 13% or above.


‘Substantial’ decreases are defined as having the same absolute difference from the UK averagebelow it – i.e. decreases of 4% or more. To make this information more meaningful, the authoritiesare classified according to their comparative funding position (high, low, or average, relative to eachsector) – deduced from their 2002/03 per capita expenditure. For details of how an authority isclassified as being of a low, average or high base please see the corresponding section on totallibrary expenditure.

Expenditure on booksThe analysis of UK expenditure on books for 2003/04 shows a slight increase of 0.2%, which issmaller than that reported for expenditure on all materials. The bookfund in Northern Irelandincreased by 35.8%, which is very encouraging following on from increases of 27.5% and 18.0% inthe last two years. However, it is worth noting that actual book expenditure in 2003/04 for two of thethree responding Northern Ireland authorities was at least double the original forecast. Elsewhere,decreases were seen in all sectors except for the London boroughs and the English counties.

A decrease of 1.5% is forecast for the UK as a whole in 2004/05. It is of particular concern that asignificant decrease of over 70% is predicted in Northern Ireland. However, it is worth noting that


this is largely due to decreases of over 80% forecast in two of the authorities, and actual expenditureoften exceeds the estimates in this region.

Expenditure on audio-visual materialsReturns for most individual authorities in this publication show separate statistics for ‘audio’ and‘video’ expenditure. However, to enable all authorities to be included, the figures for the two mediahave been combined in Tables�11 to 14 below. Also included under the audio-visual heading isexpenditure on electronic materials. The breakdown of expenditure in the CIPFA 2002/03 Actualswas 54.9% for sound recordings, 30.8% for videos and 14.3% for electronic materials (includingCD-ROM, software and on-line expenditure).

Audio-visual expenditure increased again in 2003/04, by 12.5% for the whole of the UK. NorthernIreland has fared the best with an increase of 122.5%, again though, this is due to large increases intwo of the three responding authorities. Elsewhere, Wales and the Metropolitan districts saw rises of32.3% and 21.5% respectively. A further increase, of 16.9% for the UK, is forecast for 2004/05.

Clearly audio-visual materials are increasing in popularity. Analysis of figures from the LISUdatabase of public library statistics (based on CIPFA Actuals) in the period 1996/97 to 2001/02,shows that:

1. Audio stock fell by 12.9% but video stock rose by 54.3%.

2. Audio-visual expenditure as a percentage of total materials expenditure rose from 9.3% to13.7%.

3. Actual expenditure on audio-visual materials increased by 39.0%, from £12.16�million to£16.90 million.

4. The average price paid by authorities for audio items rose by 59.4% but remained relativelystable for video items.

Expenditure on audio-visual materials as a percentage of total materials expenditure was 16.5% in2002/03, and increased to 18.0% in 2003/04, as shown below in Table 13. Northern Ireland andWales saw the greatest increases (58.4% and 29.2%), albeit from a below average base in Wales.

There may be a number of reasons for the increased expenditure on audio-visual materials. Asnewer media (eg DVD) are introduced, and begin to replace similar but less innovative media(eg�video), this may necessitate higher levels of investment, particularly in the early stages ofpurchase (similar patterns were observed as CDs replaced vinyl and cassette-audio recordings). Theintroduction of the People’s Network, and the resulting acquisition of new technologies, is likely torequire additional investment in electronic resources. In addition, the fact that these services canattract income (unlike book lending) may lead to increased spending on them, including expenditureof the income itself.

Total staff

2003/04 saw an increase of 0.7% in the total number of staff – this is the third consecutive increaseand is an encouraging contrast to the reductions which occurred every year between 1995/96 and2000/01. This is below the predicted increase of 2.0%, however, a further slight increase is predictedfor 2004/05.

Professional staff

For the UK as a whole, the number of professional staff decreased by 1.2% in 2003/04, with afurther decrease of 1.7% predicted for 2004/05. Increases of 0.2% and 4.0% were seen in Scotlandand Wales respectively, with decreases elsewhere. Further decreases are predicted throughout in2004/05 except for the London boroughs, Wales and Scotland.

A handful of authorities made large reductions in posts. They were: Southwark, Trafford,Warrington and Dundee. A large reduction is classed as one where authorities have reduced theirstaff numbers by at least 10%.

On the other side of the scale, six authorities recorded large increases: Leeds, Rotherham,Sunderland, Bournemouth, Medway and Surrey. These authorities saw their total staff numbersincrease by at least 15%.

Service points

The tables below analyse the number of service points open for more than 10 hours a week. This isa rather crude measure, given the great variety in the opening hours of different service points,though further light is cast on the subject by the following section, ‘hours open’.

Service points

Comparing 2003/04 with 2002/03, the table shows no change in the number of service points openfor 10 hours per week or more. This follows a slight increase (of 0.3%) in the number recorded for2002/03 on 2001/02. Thirty-three authorities reported a change in the number of service points openfor 10 hours per week or more in 2003/04, detailed below in Table 22. Eighteen authorities lost atotal of 30 service points, while another 18 gained a total of 30 service points. These figures arebased on data from 165 authorities and should be compared with last year, when 28 service pointsopen for ten or more hours were lost and 35 were gained (based on data from 176 authorities).

Hours open

There was a 3.6% increase for the UK overall in the number of hours open, and no sectorexperienced a reduction in 2003/04 although Northern Ireland’s opening hours remainedunchanged. An increase of 1.9% (all UK) is forecast for 2004/05. It appears that the introduction bythe Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) of the Public Library Standards3 is havingan effect on opening hours. Public Library Standards 3 and 4 are concerned with the objective to“provide adequate opening hours of libraries for users”. Public Library Standard 3 involvesaggregate opening hours per 1,000 population for all libraries, and Public Library Standard 4 isconcerned with the percentage of larger libraries open at least 45 hours per week.

Authorities reporting (or forecasting) substantial increases or reductions are listed below.‘Substantial’ increases are here defined as three times the national average (in this case 6% for the2003/04 increase and 1% for the 2004/05 forecast) i.e. increases of 18% or above for 2003/04 and3% or above for 2004/05. ‘Substantial’ decreases are defined as having the same difference belowthe UK average, that is, decreases of 6% or more for 2003/04 and 1% or more for the 2004/05forecast.

APPENDIX C


Book Price Index

In previous years, this publication has included details of book price index calculations. Prices ofadult fiction and non-fiction and children’s books, an overall average book price, and informationabout paperback and hardback books were all included. The figures used for these calculations weretaken from the Whitakers average price of titles in print in different categories, as published byWhitakers in The Bookseller.

Whitakers ceased publication of these figures in 2000, replacing the detailed analysis with a generalweekly figure covering both the volume and value of sales, and indicating the average price paid.LISU has been monitoring these figures and an analysis is included here for the first time. Thegraph below shows an analysis of these figures, giving the actual weekly average price, afour�weekly moving average (which mirrors it closely, but smoothes some of the week-to-weekvariation), and the annual moving average. The table shows the average price paid over each calendaryear, and the total number of books purchased during the year.

There is clearly a seasonal pattern in average prices paid for books throughout the year, withincreases throughout the second half of the year, peaking just before Christmas.
