Top SchoolEd Sperr is a systems and discovery librarian with a decade of experience designing user-centered library systems and bridging librarianship with software development. Currently leading the University of Georgia Libraries’ migration from Alma to FOLIO, he combines project leadership, staff training, and data-driven testing to improve discovery and access. His background includes clinical and copyright librarianship where he built visualization tools like PubVenn and Search Workbench using JavaScript and Python to make bibliographic data more explorable at the point of care.

Based in Athens-Clarke County, GA, he has a track record of turning complex ILS migrations and user needs into practical, maintainable systems.
