An Analysis of ARL Libraries Galbraith, Quinn Kelley, Heather Groesbeck, Michael Wages Research Libraries Racial Differences Salaries Minority Groups Whites Work Experience Employment Level Gender Differences Salary Wage Differentials Institutional Characteristics Racial equality has been of great importance to the Association of Research Libraries (ARL), as seen through various initiatives. However, in recent years, little research has been done regarding the racial wage gap in ARL libraries. Researchers used thirty-five years of raw ARL salary survey data to examine the wage gap between racial minorities and nonminorities (whites). Using this data, researchers created a model that controlled for institution, years of experience, years of experience squared, position, law or medical library, and sex to better understand the nature of the racial wage gap. This model shows that the gap has gradually closed over the years and that there is no longer a statistically significant wage gap between racial minorities and nonminorities in ARL libraries today.
