Abstract
Job satisfaction of academic librarians refers to the degree to which these professionals feel content and fulfilled with various aspects of their professional roles. Extensive research has been conducted on the job satisfaction of academic librarians. High job satisfaction is closely linked to improved service quality, reduced absenteeism, and increased retention and recruitment in libraries. However, very few studies have directly addressed job satisfaction of racial minority librarians in Canada. In this session, the presenters will share findings from the Visible Minority Librarians of Canada Network (ViMLoC) 2021 redux survey. The presentation will explore how demographic characteristics, workplace inclusivity, and experiences of racial microaggressions relate to the job satisfaction of racial minority librarians in Canadian academic libraries.
