Librarian occupation money in the 2008 FEC cycle

Librarian as occupation, cycle as the other filter

Two FEC dimensions meet here: occupation LIBRARIAN and the 2008 election cycle. The intersection is $442,527 ($442,527), 883 contributions, and 415 donors. 5.0% of Librarian occupation dollars ($8,907,436) fall in 2008. 2008 is a high-row presidential-year library-title cell: 883 receipts from 415 donors, more lines than most other occupation-cycle pairs in this slice.

Librarian is a one-word library title as typed, not a degree recode. Nearby strings — LIBRARY DIRECTOR, ARCHIVIST, MEDIA SPECIALIST, and LIBRARY — stay on other pages. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $442,527 or $8,907,436. Archivist and Library Director, if stored, remain other occupation keys. The FEC file does not verify an MLS, a public-library appointment, or a school-media certificate.

The LIBRARIAN string across cycles

On the occupation side, $8,907,436 ($8.9 million) is the Librarian total across cycles. The 2008 cell is 5.0% of that roll; the remaining $8,464,909 sits in other years on the occupation hub and is not itemized by year on this packet. Librarian is not a holdings-circulation ranking and not a school-district headcount. Librarian is not an ALA membership roll, a public-library payroll, or an MLS/MLIS census.

Open Librarian donations for the $8,907,436 roll. Open the 2008 election cycle hub for every occupation in that window. All occupations and All FEC ties place this pair beside other occupation-cycle pages without combining dollar figures. Occupation labels are filer-entered on itemized individual receipts.

Receipts and donor keys inside this cycle cell

Inside the 2008 cell, 883 itemized contributions map to 415 donors. That is about 2.1 receipts per donor in the join — a repeat-gift ratio, not a unique-person survey of everyone who holds a similar job. Dollars per receipt average about $501; dollars per donor average about $1,066. Averages hide large and small lines sitting in the same total.

2008 is a presidential-year FEC clock. Primaries, the general election, and leftover receipts from adjacent months can share the same even-year label. This packet does not split dollars by those stages or by party. The 2008 election cycle hub shows the cycle’s full occupation mix; this page shows only the Librarian row. 415 donors is a disclosure count for this key in 2008, not a turnout figure. Unitemized federal gifts never enter $442,527.

Two dollar columns, one occupation and one year

Keep $442,527 attached to 2008 and $8,907,436 attached to the occupation string. Adding them would double-count the 2008 dollars that already sit inside the occupation total. Subtracting them does not yield “all other cycles”; it only yields a remainder ($8,464,909) that this packet does not itemize by year.

Cite FEC.gov. Individual contributions are not PAC independent expenditures and not lobbying registrations. Nothing in the join says donations paid for a federal award or a USAspending obligation. Quote $442,527 with both nouns: Librarian and 2008.

What a Librarian cycle join cannot claim

Matching Librarian with 2008 does not measure influence, does not assign party, and does not say Librarian donors caused an electoral result. Correlation between an occupation string and a cycle is not causation. The table is also not an ALA membership roll, a public-library payroll, or an MLS/MLIS census.

Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov only. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and state-office campaigns are excluded. A person who wrote a nearby title is not in $442,527. A person who wrote this string is in it even if the day job differs. LobbyVault does not audit licenses. The public record is the string plus the dollars.

Linked librarian hub, cycle hub, and sibling titles

Librarian donations holds the $8,907,436 occupation total. The 2008 election cycle page holds every occupation in that window, not only Librarian. All occupations places LIBRARIAN beside other titles without merging sibling strings (LIBRARY DIRECTOR, ARCHIVIST, MEDIA SPECIALIST, and LIBRARY). All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pairs so $442,527 is not added to a different year.

Use the occupation hub for all-cycle Librarian dollars ($8,907,436). Use the 2008 cycle hub for the even-year window across titles. Use this tie for the intersection only: $442,527, 883 contributions, 415 donors, 5.0% of occupation dollars. Those four internal links are the only hrefs this copy may use. Amended individual contribution reports can move $442,527; a later harvest of the same occupation string can move $8,907,436. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved.

Questions

How much did Librarian-labeled donors give in 2008?

The Librarian grouping’s 2008 cell is $442,527 in itemized individual contributions, from 883 contributions and 415 donors, per FEC.gov aggregates. That is the occupation-cycle join, not a PAC total and not the $8,907,436 all-cycle occupation total.

Does Librarian mean public, academic, or school libraries?

The stored string is LIBRARIAN with no workplace. Public, academic, special, and school settings are not split. Library Director and Archivist are other keys. This join does not check an MLS degree or recode those titles into LIBRARIAN. Figures are FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates. Librarian in 2008 is $442,527 on 883 receipts from 415 donors.

What share of Librarian FEC money fell in 2008?

About 5.0%. $442,527 divided by $8,907,436 is the 2008 cell’s share of the lifetime occupation bucket. Other cycles hold about $8,464,909 on the occupation hub. See the Librarian occupation hub for other cycles and the 2008 cycle hub for other strings.

Does Librarian 2008 money fund federal awards?

No. These figures are FEC individual contribution aggregates. Federal awards are published by USAspending. This page does not claim that campaign gifts funded those awards. $442,527 is itemized receipts tagged LIBRARIAN in 2008, not an obligation total. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
