Curiosity with purpose.

I’m Kate Thomas, a digital librarian, researcher, and information literacy advocate helping people make sense of information, ask better questions, and find what matters.

Hi, I’m Kate.

I’m a digital librarian, researcher, and information literacy advocate with a deep curiosity about how people find, understand, and use information.

My work spans digital collections, research, public education, and information literacy, but the thread running through all of it is simple: I like making complex information easier to navigate, understand, and use with confidence.

I earned my MLIS from Syracuse University, and I’m especially interested in how organization, context, and good questions can turn information into something people can actually use.

What I Do

I take complicated information and turn it into something people can actually use. That might mean organizing a digital collection, digging into research, creating educational content, or finding a clearer way to connect the dots.

Areas of Focus

Information Literacy

Helping people evaluate sources, recognize context, ask better questions, and become more thoughtful consumers of information.

Digital Librianship

Organizing, preserving, and connecting information so it can actually be found and used.

Research & Organization

Digging into complex topics, tracing details, and bringing order to large amounts of information.

AI & Public Education

Exploring how technology changes the way people create, consume, verify, and understand information.

What Drives My Work

I’m fascinated by how people search for, interpret, trust, and share information.

In a world overflowing with content, I care about helping people slow down, ask better questions, and feel more confident navigating what they encounter online and offline.

I believe information, when it’s organized and accessible, can be a tool for empowerment, discovery, and connection.
