Get to Know . . . Chris Bloodworth

Abstract

Chris Bloodworth might be a fairly new government documents librarian, but he is no stranger to government information. He has been an Adult Services Librarian at the main branch of the Detroit Public Library (DPL) since 2022. Prior to that, he had a long tenure as a research librarian at Honigman Miller, a large law firm in Detroit, and he also worked in the Arthur Neef Law Library at Wayne State University and at Ohio State University’s Moritz Law Library. Most of his training with government information has been practical, beginning when he was a graduate assistant while working on his MLIS at Wayne State University. “Though my library science graduate education has helped me become successful in my career, the knowledge and experience I’ve gained working in government documents has been learning and acquiring on the fly,” he noted.
