Librarian occupation money in the 2012 FEC cycle

Librarian as occupation, 2012 as the cycle

Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation LIBRARIAN and election cycle 2012. Matching rows sum to $495,832, 912 contributions, and 424 donors. Drop either key and the number changes. Library, library director, archivist, and library assistant are other keys if those words appear. This join does not recode the label into an ALA membership roll, an MLS-holder census, or a library PAC. Other cycle amounts are not fields in this packet except as the remainder on the occupation hub.

Parent hubs: Librarian donations at /occupations/librarian/ and the 2012 election cycle at /election-cycles/2012/. All occupations at /occupations/ lists neighboring titles. All FEC ties at /ties/ keeps each occupation-year cell on its own path so a reader can move without mixing $495,832 into another year or another string. Do not add those parent pages into this cell.

Party, committee, and employer breakdowns for Librarian in 2012 are not fields in this packet. Do not infer a partisan split from $495,832. Public versus academic versus special-library work is unpublished for Librarian in 2012. The occupation page and the 2012 cycle page are the next clicks for named committees. Four hundred-plus donor keys and nine hundred receipts is a mid-scale professional-title cell inside a large all-cycle Librarian roll.

LIBRARIAN, not archivist or library director

$8.9 million ($8,907,436) belongs to the exact string LIBRARIAN across harvested cycles. It is not an ALA membership roll, an MLS-holder census, or a library PAC. People who wrote nearby wording — library, library director, archivist, and library assistant — sit in other rows if the characters differ. The 2012 slice is 5.6% of that title bucket ($495,832 of $8,907,436). Share of LIBRARIAN is not share of all 2012 receipts. The remainder, $8,411,604, sits in other cycles on the occupation hub.

Amended individual contribution reports can move $495,832. A later harvest of the same occupation string can move $8,907,436. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Live Librarian donations and the live 2012 election cycle pages are the tables; this prose is a packet snapshot. Itemized individual contributions are the only receipt class in this cell. Unitemized gifts below the itemization threshold, in-kind goods, and bundled contributions without this occupation string are outside $495,832.

424 librarian donors and 912 receipts in 2012

424 donors and 912 receipts — about 2.2 lines per donor. Mean per receipt about $544; mean per donor about $1,169. Those ratios are arithmetic on two harvested integers. They are not medians, not typical gifts, and not a claim about income. Four hundred-plus donor keys and nine hundred receipts is a mid-scale professional-title cell inside a large all-cycle Librarian roll. No median is published in this packet.

Repeat gifts add receipts. 912 is a line count, not 424 one-time gifts. Public versus academic versus special-library work is not encoded in the occupation string. Neither figure is a headcount of everyone who works in the field named by LIBRARIAN. People who left occupation blank, used a nearby spelling, or listed a more specific title are not in $495,832. This page is not a ranking of public versus academic libraries. The occupation string does not encode library type.

Professional title versus association PACs

Cite $495,832 as Librarian in 2012. Cite $8,907,436 as this title’s occupation total. Do not add library-association and public-employee PAC filings to either figure. Those filings are committee reports. Mixing PAC spending with $495,832 would blend FEC tables. All occupations lists neighboring titles so a searcher can open the other string’s cycle cell rather than rescale 5.6%.

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle. This join does not recode LIBRARIAN into a Bureau of Labor Statistics title, a NAICS code, or a license class. If a researcher needs those crosswalks, they start from the raw string. Correlation is not causation: a presidential-year total does not prove the occupation’s motives, and it does not attach these gifts to any federal spending dataset. USAspending.gov awards are a different ledger. This page does not claim that 2012 donations funded contracts or grants.

How to cite Librarian money in 2012

A clean footnote names occupation LIBRARIAN, election cycle 2012, $495,832 in itemized individual contributions, 912 receipts, and 424 donors on FEC.gov. Keep the itemized word. Mean dollars remain about $544 per line and $1,169 per donor in the cell. If the live Librarian donations overlay has refreshed, quote the overlay. Do not treat 912 as unique workers in the trade named by LIBRARIAN.

This URL exists because two filters meet. Librarian donations rolls every cycle into one LIBRARIAN running total. The 2012 election cycle rolls every occupation into one 2012 total. Only the Librarian × 2012 overlay applies both filters, which is why this page cites 912 receipts and $495,832. All FEC ties is the directory of other occupation-cycle cells.

Occupation hub, 2012 hub, and Archivist as a sibling

The occupation hub still holds $8,411,604 outside 2012. Most of the $8,907,436 roll is not this cycle’s cell. This page isolates the overlap for readers who need both the title and the year, not either hub restated. This page is not a ranking of public versus academic libraries. The occupation string does not encode library type. Gifts per donor in 2012 average about 2.2. That ratio is 912 divided by 424, not a measure of turnout. Original filings remain at FEC.gov. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
