GENDER DATAMany readers of previous surveys have inquired about evidence of gender-basedsalary differentials in ARL libraries. Data on salary comparisons for directors also arefrequently requested. It is perhaps noteworthy that the average salary for femaledirectors in university libraries is slightly higher than the average salary for maledirectors (see Table 17) for the fourth consecutive year. Many new hires have occurredin the last few years, contributing to the largest number of women in the topadministrative library position (54 women directors out of 111 total directorshipsreported this year) and higher salaries for women directors of ARL libraries.Looking at other job categories, though, as Table 17 demonstrates, averagesalaries for men in most cases still surpass those of women in the same job category.For nine categories (of the 27 used in the tables) do average salaries of women exceedthose of men. Moreover, the overall salary for women is still only 94% that of men forthe 111 ARL university libraries (93 % for 98 ARL university libraries reporting datathroughout the salary survey history). Table 18 provides average years of professionalexperience for many of the same staffing categories for which salary data are shown inTable 17. An inspection of data in Table 18 reveals that experience differentials betweenmen and women cannot account fully for all of the salary differentials evident in Table17. Table 19 further reveals that the average salary for men is consistently higher thanthe average salary for women in everyone of the experience cohorts. This pattern isalso repeated for minority librarians: the average salary for minority men is higher thanthat for minority women in nine of the ten experience cohorts (see Table 30).Looking at the salaries over a longer period of time and holding constant thenumber of libraries over a 19-year period (Figure 3), we can see that women aregradually closing the earnings gap across different job categories, but the process isvery slow. Women earned more than men in two job categories (Head of Documentsand Circulation) in 1980-81; in 1989-90 women earned more than men in four jobcategories (Director, Functional Specialist, Head of Serials, and Head of Documents);most recently, in 1999-2000, women earned more than men in five job categories(Director, Head of Reference, Head of Circulation, Head of Computer Systems, andCataloger). Overall, women earned the equivalent of 87% of men's salaries in 1980-81,90% in 1989-90, and 93% in 1999-2000.16
