Background

I have worked for the University Library since 2000, started from Taubman Medical Library, and then Technical Services Division. I joined the Asia Library in July of 2007.

I graduated with a B.A. in English Language and Literature from Anhui Normal University and taught English upon graduation in China. Prior to my arrival in the U.S., I was a school-district coordinator for instructional support. I received my Master's degree in the Library and Information Sciences from Wayne State University in the summer of 2009. In May of 2011, I obtained Certificate of  "Metadata for Digital Collection" from University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee, School of Information Studies Professional Development Institute.  I've been a member of Chinese American Librarian Association since 2007.

Responsibilities

I catalog Chinese language materials in all subject areas. My responsibilities include original and complex copy cataloging of monographs, print and non-print serials, audiovisual materials, microform and internet resources. I assist other libraries/units in cataloging Chinese and English-Chinese materials. I am also responsible for maintaining Chinese catalog, solving conflicts between catalog records and the collection, managing special projects, clearing up problematic backlogs. I am currently cataloging a large-scale collection of Chinese microform materials that consist of periodicals and monographs from the late 19th to early 20th centuries. I provide services to library users when needed.
