Cecilia Zhang

Cecilia Zhang is a librarian specializing in Chinese Studies books, databases and journals, supporting faculty members in their teaching and research.  

Zhang came to KU in August 2022 after earning her two master’s degrees in art history and information and her bachelor’s degree in East Asian Studies, all at the University of Toronto. Before then, she lived in mainland China and then immigrated to Canada, where she finished the rest of her high school education.  

After working outside of academia for a short stint, Zhang wanted to utilize her language skills and knowledge in Chinese Studies material in a university setting and found that opportunity with KU Libraries, which has one of the biggest Chinese collections in the United States.
