About

My name is Kevin Gunn and I am a research librarian and indexer. I have been adjunct faculty for eleven years and editor-in-chief of a scholarly journal for six years.

I provide back-of-book indexing, specializing in the areas of biography, drama and theater, English literature, history, library and information science, media studies, philosophy, religion, and children’s literature.

Given my experience as a research librarian, I am comfortable indexing academic, scholarly, and trade publications in the humanities and social sciences.

Educational background

• B.A. and M.A. in Philosophy from the University of Manitoba (Winnipeg, Canada).

• M.L.I.S. in Library and Information Studies from McGill University (Montreal, Quebec). LIS 694 Indexing course.

• Certificate in Computer Information Systems from the Catholic University of America (Washington, DC).

Over the years, I have taken many courses on the digital humanities and data science. I keep current in the indexing profession by being a member of the American Society for Indexing, attending workshops and conferences, and belonging to interest groups and listservs.

I was featured in the Spotlight section of the September, 2022 issue of the American Society for Indexing’s monthly newsletter, See Also.
