Spotlight on Sharon McGee

Even if you visit Paul G. Blazer Library everyday, you may have never met Sharon McGee, Blazer Library’s Records Manager and Head of Special Collections/Archives. Much of Ms. McGee's work is done away from the public eye, whether that work is diligently guiding KYSU employees in managing their records, or preserving KYSU’s permanent records for administrative/historical/fiscal/ legal purposes, or ultimately making those records accessible to KYSU faculty, staff, students, and the public.

Sharon is a KYSU alum, having completed her undergrad B.A. in elementary education with a computer endorsement here before going on to the University of Kentucky to complete dual master’s degrees, the first of which certified her as a Media Specialist and the second of which provided her a Master’s of Science in Library Science.

Before coming to KYSU as an undergrad, Ms. McGee spent several years working in business. After that, she taught elementary school in Anderson County and Franklin County prior to coming to work at Blazer Library. One year she worked as a Media Specialist. 

Sharon is married with 2 daughters, who both attend the University of Kentucky, and feels lucky to have a beautiful granddaughter. She loves working as an academic librarian and is glad that she chose it as her career . When she is not busy working at the job she thoroughly enjoys, Sharon can be found singing karaoke, listening to music, and most importantly of all, spending time with her family.

Thank you for all you do, Sharon!
