Cindy Ingold

Cindy Ingold serves as Associate Professor and Gender and Multicultural Services Librarian at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign's University Library, with additional affiliation at the Center for the Study of Global Gender Equity. Her faculty role bridges academic scholarship and practical library services focused on equity.

Her research centers on Women's Studies and Gender Studies within Library and Information Science, critically examining historical activism in librarianship (particularly 1970s women's groups in the American Library Association), gendered information needs, and evaluation of digital resources for gender studies. This work consistently connects theoretical frameworks with practical service design in academic libraries.

Analysis of her publications reveals sustained engagement with gender equity in information systems, evolving from historical analyses to contemporary evaluations of internet reference resources. Key themes include interdisciplinary collaboration in academic libraries and the critical assessment of women's studies resources.
