Résumé
Cette étude compare les conventions collectives et les règlements qui régissent les bibliothécaires des universités faisant partie du regroupement des grandes universités de recherche du Canada, le U15. Elle s’intéresse aux sept composantes du modèle du statut universitaire qui sont recommandées dans les lignes directrices des organisations nationales au Canada, et en fait l’analyse. L’objectif de l’étude est de comparer les rôles, droits et responsabilités des bibliothécaires membres du U15, dont l’Université Laval fait partie. Les résultats font ressortir des similitudes entre les rôles et fonctions des bibliothécaires de l’Université Laval et ceux des autres membres du regroupement. Ils montrent aussi des disparités concernant leurs droits et conditions de travail. Cette situation soulève une question d’équité entre les bibliothécaires universitaires au Canada.

Abstract
This comparative study analyzes the collective agreements and policies of librarians affiliated with universities that are part of the U15 group of Canadian research universities. The authors identify seven components of the academic status model that are recommended in the guidelines of national organizations in Canada and analyze each of them. The objective of the study is to compare the roles, rights, and responsibilities of librarians who are members of the U15, of which Université Laval is a part. The results of the analysis highlight similarities between the roles and functions of librarians at Université Laval and other members of the U15 but also disparities concerning their rights and working conditions. This situation raises a question of equity among academic librarians in Canada.
