Introduction

Hello, my name is Leann Boyd and I work at William S. Smith Library at South Georgia College as the Information Services Librarian. I provide instructional and reference services and give library tours. I am in charge of staff development and manage collection development.

I am thrilled to be one of the two graduate students chosen and look forward to working with the GPLS Strategic Planning team. I take classes online through Valdosta State University’s MLIS program. I plan to do my capstone course this fall and graduate in December.

Currently I am researching the history of GPLS and Georgia libraries for the planning team. I have a background of studying and researching history but I have never researched history for the purpose of strategic planning. I am excited to be working on this project and look forward to learning new skills.
