There's a new report out from NTEN and the Nonprofit Times about IT staffing in Not for Profits. Download the report

Highlights from the Executive Summary:

• On average, nonprofits employ one IT staff member for every 18 employees.
• Most nonprofits continue to feel understaffed when it comes to IT. Size of organization did not seem
  to impact staffing satisfaction.
  
• IT staff spend their time in much the same way, regardless of organization size or level of technology adoption. For the second year, the largest percentage of staff time, roughly 40%, is spent on desktop and application support.
• The average tenure for IT staff at nonprofits is 4.3 years. Tenures were longer for larger organizations and organizations that felt they had greater technology adoption.
• Almost all nonprofits outsource at least some technology tasks; more technical tasks continue to be
  more commonly outsourced.
  

There are reports coming on Salaries & Budgets and IT Management & Planning based on the same survey

The Scottish Museums Council has published the results of its recent survey of ICT in Scottish Museums to its website at http://www.scottishmuseums.org.uk/areas_of_work/ICT/ICT_survey.asp .

The survey of SMC members was conducted in October and achieved a very ositive response rate of over 50%. The report maps the results against hose of the last ICT survey which was conducted just after the launch f the SMC's 'A national ICT strategy for Scotland's museums' in 2004, nd is one way in which SMC is measuring the outcomes and benefits of this publication.
