A librarian at UCF will be receiving a national award for her service to the Chinese-American Librarians Association.
Sai Deng, a metadata librarian at UCF’s John C. Hitt Library, will be recognized at the 2013 American Library Association/Chinese-American Librarians Association annual conference, UCF said.
Deng will be receiving one of three CALA President’s Recognition Awards in Chicago for her service to the organization — an award that “recognizes and honors dedication, quality of service, and professional integrity as well as leadership and significant contributions to the goals of CALA,” UCF said.
Deng received her bachelor’s in history education from the Hunan National University in China and her MLIS from the University of Illinois., UCF said. She was an assistant professor and metadata librarian at Wichita State University before taking the position at UCF.
