Biography

Jamie Bloss, M.L.I.S., AHIP, has been a part of the iSchool’s adjunct faculty since 2013. She frequently teaches the undergraduate course, Information Fluency in The Workplace and Beyond.

Currently she works as a Liaison Librarian to the College of Allied Health Sciences and the School of Dental Medicine at Laupus Health Sciences Library at East Carolina University. Her interests include teaching information literacy skills, user-centered reference work, and crafting a better user experience for all in libraries. Her last position was in the Reader Services Department at the University of the South Pacific in Suva, Fiji.

*The School of Information faculty are superstars in the field. Therefore, it is impossible to list all of the work they do on one page. Listed is a small selection of Jamie Bloss’ work. Further information can be viewed in her CV (found below) or on ResearchGate.
