Anne Adkison

Associate Professor & Coordinator of Library Instruction

As the Coordinator of Library Instruction, Anne Adkison chairs the Library's curriculum committee and provides reference and formal instruction sessions for classes in a variety of disciplines. They are the library liaison for Women, Gender, & Sexuality Studies Program and the Department of Performing & Creative Arts.

Professor Adkison holds Master’s Degrees in both library science and creative writing. Their research interests explore the intersection between identity politics and print/media culture—including open access, queer publishing, and zine culture. Their research investigates how libraries support marginalized communities and provide access points for scholars to locate their own identity-specific cultural heritage in an academic sphere. 

Note that Anne Adkison's former name was Anne Hays (academic articles appear under the name Hays).
