Greetings from the Dean of the Library

Zach S. Henderson Library

Hello, and welcome to the web site of Georgia Southern University's Zach S. Henderson Library. I am W. Bede Mitchell, and it is my pleasure to serve as Georgia Southern's Dean of the Library.

Whether you are a student, faculty member, or staff member at Georgia Southern, or an alum or a web surfer interested in investigating our institution, IBede Mitchell hope you will examine our web pages and learn more about what we have to offer. Our catalog of library holdings is online and we have information about our wide range of services, collections, and resources on the About the Library page. For some useful tools I highly recommend that you visit the Using the Library section of our site.

Perhaps you would like to see what we have in our Special Collections. Georgia Southern University faculty should check out the link entitled Information for Faculty. We hope what you see here will make you want to visit us in person.

As our Mission Statement says, the Henderson Library is the central repository of recorded information for the University and we are here to serve the students, faculty, and staff of the University as well as to members of the general public. The Henderson Library is also the primary focus of the University's links to sources of information at other external sites. These local and external information resources are made available in subjects, formats and methods consistent with the academic disciplines of the University and with the various needs of the users of the Library.

Come see us, and take advantage of all our resources!
