This resource lists the libraries associated with each of the Carnegie classification categories and the automation systems that they use.
The Carnegie Classification has been the leading framework for recognizing and describing institutional diversity in U.S. higher education for the past four and a half decades. Starting in 1970, the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education developed a classification of colleges and universities to support its program of research and policy analysis. Derived from empirical data on colleges and universities, the Carnegie Classification was originally published in 1973, and subsequently updated in 1976, 1987, 1994, 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015 and 2018 to reflect changes among colleges and universities. This framework has been widely used in the study of higher education, both as a way to represent and control for institutional differences, and also in the design of research studies to ensure adequate representation of sampled institutions, students, or faculty.
This page presents the automation systems used by academic libraries in any given Carnegie classification level. A Market Share Analysis Report provides a detailed assessment of the automation systems used by the libraries in each Carnegie Classification level.
