03/21/2016
The School of Information Sciences (SIS) congratulates alumna Megan Rosenbloom who was named one of Library Journal’s Movers & Shakers of 2016. Rosenbloom graduated from the Library and Information Science program in 2008 and began her work in libraries at the University of Southern California’s Norris Medical Library, where she is now the associate director for collection resources. Her library educates doctors and medical students while conducting critical work that greatly increases the relationship between libraries and the medical profession.
Rosenbloom’s interest in medical history lead her to the Order of the Good Death, which focuses on discussing how to approach death and mortality from a less stigmatized point of view. She now serves as the director of the association, which includes academics, artists, and death professionals who gather at annual meetings to discuss death and cultural issues. Both her work in medical libraries and the Order of the Good Death has marked Rosenbloom as a rising advocate for the death positivity movement.
