  • Administrators' Perceptions of Racial Equity Accountability Practices in Academic Libraries Kristyn Caragher Administrator Attitudes Academic Libraries Library Administration Accountability Racism Social Justice Racial Differences Administrator Characteristics Administrator Role Whites Minority Groups Leadership Responsibility Leadership Styles Differences Work Attitudes Work Environment Library Personnel Employee Attitudes Employer Employee Relationship Foreign Countries Participant Characteristics Racial Relations This article examines racism and accountability practices within academic libraries from the perspective of academic library administrators, with attention to differences between BIPOC and White academic library administrators. The quantitative data collected via an online survey show White academic library administrators are more likely to believe leadership is accountable and proactive in addressing racism within the workplace than BIPOC academic library administrators. The data reveal a need for accountability to be better defined within libraries and for academic library administrators to work together to better align on commitments toward addressing racism within the library workplace.
