Dr. Jennifer Branch is the Coordinator of the Teacher-Librarianship by Distance Learning program and an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Education at the University of Alberta. She worked as a junior high teacher and teacher-librarian in Inuvik, Northwest Territories for 6 years, as a teacher in Northern Ontario and did research in Aberdeen, Scotland. Jennifer's areas of research are information-seeking processes, information literacy education, electronic reference sources, and teacher-librarian education.
Jennifer Branch-Mueller's areas of research are information-seeking processes, information literacy education, electronic reference sources and teacher-librarianship education. Because the Teacher-Librarianship by Distance Learning program is delivered completely online, she is interested in how students build a sense of community in online spaces, and how students learn new and emerging technologies at a distance. Jennifer is also interested in professional development for teacher-librarians and how they connect and learn through personal learning networks.
