Job burnout is a common phenomenon in librarians, especially in university. Librarians’ job burnout will affect their health, library development and information transfer. Therefore, it is necessary to study librarians’ job burnout. In this study, 130 librarians from four universities were investigated on job burnout, including emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and lack of personal accomplishment. The collected investigation data were analyzed using statistic software, and the results showed that different librarians had different degree of job burnout. Furthermore, some important reasons resulting in job burnout were analyzed and some solutions to relieve job burnout were proposed based on this result.
