Institute of Museum and Library Services federal obligations in California

$60,465,331.66 in USAspending.gov obligations is the Institute of Museum and Library Services total coded to California, across 193 awards. The pair is IMLS plus California, not a statewide museum ranking. Awarding-agency 474 and California (CA) are the pair. One hundred ninety-three records against $60,465,331.66 is a mid-thin IMLS file, thicker than the District’s 127-row cell and still not a library census. The implied mean is about $313,292 per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical project. USAspending.gov is the source. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.

IMLS awards tagged to California

Institute of Museum and Library Services as awarding agency, California as place-of-performance: 193 records summing to $60,465,331.66. An Institute of Museum and Library Services award coded outside CA is out. An award in California from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. California (CA) excludes Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, and Mexico. A Nevada-coded award is NV even if a traveling exhibit later sits in California. Awarding agency 474 museum-versus-library splits stay unpublished on this California cell.

One hundred ninety-three records against $60,465,331.66 is a mid-thin IMLS file, thicker than the District’s 127-row cell and still not a library census. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 193 as 193 unique museums, named libraries, or unique grants as institutions. The overlay Institute of Museum and Library Services in California is the both-keys table. California federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Institute of Museum and Library Services is the agency book without a CA filter. All spending ties lists other joins. Named systems are unpublished. Do not treat 193 as unique California libraries or as an LA-versus-Bay ranking. Correlation is not causation: California did not cause $60,465,331.66 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 474 × CA only.

Not unique museums or named library systems

$60,465,331.66 does not measure unique museums, named libraries, or unique grants as institutions. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 474 and a CA place-of-performance tag. Awarding agency 474 museum-versus-library splits stay unpublished on this California cell.

Do not treat 193 awards as a census of unique museums, named libraries, or unique grants as institutions. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If California federal spending or Institute of Museum and Library Services matched $60,465,331.66 and 193, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Oregon, Nevada, and Texas IMLS joins are other pairs, not addends. Do not add this $60,465,331.66 to a District of Columbia IMLS join. They are different geography keys.

California statewide, not an LA-versus-Bay split

Place of performance CA is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. California (CA) excludes Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, and Mexico. A Nevada-coded award is NV even if a traveling exhibit later sits in California. Recipient address can differ from that state tag. Los Angeles, the Bay Area, San Diego, and the rest of the counties share one CA stamp.

Named systems are unpublished. Do not treat 193 as unique California libraries or as an LA-versus-Bay ranking. This packet does not split $60,465,331.66 by city, county, or named facility. 193 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. FEC donation tables do not fund these USAspending obligations.

Mid-thin cultural files still record obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $60,465,331.66 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in California confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

California’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 193-award USAspending file leaves this series. No fiscal year is published in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Keep the obligation label on $60,465,331.66. Do not add this $60,465,331.66 to a District of Columbia IMLS join. They are different geography keys.

Citing IMLS in California

Cite USAspending.gov: Institute of Museum and Library Services (agency 474) obligated $60,465,331.66 on 193 awards coded to California. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as unique museums, named libraries, or unique grants as institutions. The pair is IMLS plus California, not a statewide museum ranking.

A usable footnote names Institute of Museum and Library Services, California, $60,465,331.66, and 193. The compact headline $60.5 million is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $313,292 is $60,465,331.66 divided by 193. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
