The purpose of this paper is to deploy a critical discourse analysis (CDA) to consider exclusionary practices enacted by academic libraries as evidenced through resource provision. Specifically, this paper looks at the inclusion of trans and gender-nonconforming (TGNC) individuals in library guides, TGNC naming practices in abstracts and the physical shelving of transgender studies texts. This paper concludes with a discussion of methods to overcome such exclusionary practices in the future.,This paper deploys CDA as informed by queer theory, affording a lens to consider how language and information are structured such that particular power dynamics emerge placing symbolic value on discursively normal identities. CDA helps illuminate when, how and why TGNC individuals remain excluded within academic librarianship practices.,Findings show continued investments in heteronormative and cisnormative structures concerning information provision and access for TGNC patrons. TGNC patrons using library guides consistently fail to see any mentioned made of their respective identities aside from research about their identities. Patrons seeking information of personal value (i.e. coming out resources) find few resources. Further, library stacks and databases enact consistent microaggressions such as fetishizing, deadnaming and misgendering.,This project contains considerable social implications, as it pushes against a continued recalcitrance on the part of academic libraries to invest in neutrality by showing its failures regarding TGNC persons.,This study possesses a considerable set of practical implications and highlights tangible problems that could be addressed with relative ease by academic librarians through either systemic reorganization of information or TGNC patrons. Alternatively, this work also suggests that if such reformations are not possible, academic librarians can take it upon themselves to call attention to such issues and purposefully mark these failings, thus making it clear that it is a current limitation of how libraries function and invite patrons (both cisgender and transgender) to challenge and change these representations through research and advocacy.,This project contains considerable social implications as it pushes against a continued recalcitrance on the part of academic libraries (and librarianship more broadly) to invest in neutrality. This study contests the idea that while possessing neutrality academic libraries also posit themselves as inherently good and inclusive. By showing the violence that remains enacted upon transgender and gender nonconforming folks through multiple venues within the academic library, this study makes clear that statements of negativity are thrust onto TGNC patrons and they remain excluded from an institution that purports to have their well-being as one of its core values.,The deployment of CDA within information science is still a relatively new one. While linguists have long understood the multiplicity of discourse beyond language, the application of this method to the academic library as a discursive institution proves generative. Furthermore, the relationship between academic libraries and their LGBTQ+ populations is both underrepresented and undervalued, a problem exacerbated when focusing on how transgender and gender nonconforming patrons see themselves and their relationships to the academic library. This paper shows the dire state of representation for these particular patrons and provides groundwork for positively changing such representations.

如果不包括浴室，为什么要包容浴室？

本文的目的是部署批判性语篇分析（CDA），以考虑通过资源提供证明的高校图书馆实施的排他性做法。具体而言，本文着眼于图书馆指南中包括跨性别者和性别不符合（TGNC）的个人，摘要中TGNC的命名惯例以及跨性别研究文本的物理搁置。本文以讨论如何在将来克服此类排斥实践的方法作为结束。。，本文在同志理论的指导下部署了CDA，为思考语言和信息的结构提供了一个视角，以使特定的动力动态出现，从而将象征性的价值置于话语上。正常身份。CDA有助于阐明TGNC个人何时，如何以及为何仍被排除在学术图书馆管理实践之外。调查结果表明，在有关TGNC顾客的信息提供和访问的异规范和顺规范结构方面的持续投资。使用图书馆指南的TGNC赞助人除了对身份的研究之外，始终看不到任何提及的有关其身份的信息。寻求个人价值信息（即资源）的顾客发现资源很少。此外，图书馆的资料库和数据库还实施了持续的微侵略行为，例如恋物癖，死名和性别歧视。该项目具有相当大的社会意义，因为它通过显示其在TGNC人员方面的失败来阻止中立图书馆继续对中立进行投资。 ，这项研究具有相当大的实践意义，并着重指出了切实的问题，学术图书馆员可以通过信息的系统重组或TGNC赞助者相对容易地解决。另外，这项工作还表明，如果不可能进行这样的改革，则大学图书馆员可以自己承担起对此类问题的关注，并有目的地标记这些失败之处，从而清楚地表明，目前图书馆的功能和邀请赞助者的方式受到限制（顺式和跨性别）通过研究和倡导来挑战和改变这些表示形式。该项目包含了相当大的社会意义，因为它阻止了学术图书馆（和更广泛的图书馆员）继续对中立进行投资。这项研究反对这样的观点，即大学图书馆在拥有中立性的同时也认为自己具有良好的内在包容性。通过显示在大学图书馆内的多个场所对跨性别者和性别不合格者仍然施加的暴力，本研究表明，负向性陈述是针对TGNC赞助人的，他们仍然被排除在声称拥有幸福感的机构之外它的核心价值之一。在信息科学领域部署CDA仍然是一个相对较新的领域。尽管语言学家长期以来一直理解语言以外的话语多样性，但这种方法作为一种话语机构在大学图书馆中的应用被证明是有创见的。此外，高校图书馆与其LGBTQ +人群之间的关系既被低估又被低估，当关注跨性别和性别不合格的顾客如何看待自己以及他们与大学图书馆的关系时，这个问题更加严重。本文显示了这些特定顾客的严重代表状态，并为积极改变此类代表提供了基础。
