Abstract
While a small number of studies have investigated salary negotiation in librarianship,
none have focused on Canadian academic libraries. What are the motivations and
barriers that impact employment-offer negotiation? When Canadian librarians negotiate,
what subjects are discussed, and do they feel they were successful? This preliminary
report is a descriptive summary on the results of a survey we conducted to explore the
negotiation propensity and perceptions of Canadian academic librarians when
presented with their most recent offer of employment. A better understanding of this
topic may encourage negotiation conversations and empower librarians in future
employment offer negotiations to improve salaries and working conditions.
