Abstract
This study focused on the job satisfaction levels of librarians in private and Govt public Libraries in Kota,
Rajasthan. Questionnaires were distributed to respondents which elicited responses which were used to
compare the job satisfaction levels of librarians in public Libraries with their counterparts in the private Public Libraries. The
research procedure used was total enumeration of all Public librarians in public and private Libraries in Kota, Rajasthan. A
total of twenty nine (29) questionnaires were administered of which six (6) were administered in private Public Libraries
while twenty three (23) were administered in Govt public Libraries. Responses were analyzed using the T-Test statistical
procedure and results were presented in tables. The study revealed that there was no signicant difference in the level of job
satisfaction of librarians in both private and Govt public Libraries when compared on the basis of factors such as salary,
library policies and administration, co-workers relationship, among others. Conclusions were drawn and recommendations
were made that would enhance the level of job satisfaction among librarians in private and Govt public Libraries in
