Hi, my name is Scott Guyant. I have lived in Montana for 8 years now. I got my Bachelor of Science in General Studies in 2001 from University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point. In 2021 I went back to school and got my Master's degree in Library Science where I focused in Reference and Instruction along with Children and Teen Literature. I graduated in December 2023 from Pennsylvania Western Clarion. I started out as a Library Clerk January 2023 in the Vande Bogart Library at Montana State University - Northern and have since moved up to my current position of Reference and Instruction Librarian. Though because of the ultra small nature of this university I am also head of Testing Services and Interlibrary Loans plus I do all the hiring of our student workers. Which often makes me feel way out of my depth considering I just barely got my degree. Though I am told that is completely normal. If you want to chat with me bring up AI. I have been fascinated by the changing landscape of academics with the widespread ease of use generative AI.
