DTC Library is excited to bring you a new slate of programming to celebrate the fall semester for new and returning students. Check out our Hidden Gems, selections from our Pop Reads collection that have been overlooked. Each selection has a short summary of what makes that book a hidden gem, but you won’t know what you’re getting until you unwrap it to see what’s inside!

Join us on August 25th and 26th from 2pm to 4pm for our Welcome Week event, Unlock the Library: Hidden Gems edition. Solve escape room style puzzles to pursue a jewel thief and uncover the library’s best kept gems. Complete our puzzles, and you will win swag, cookies, and bragging rights. 

As our talented Metadata Librarian, Sai plays a key role in making the library’s digital collections accessible to the public. Her work includes object description, access points selection, subject analysis, authority control, and quality assessment — all essential to connecting users with the information they need. Prior to coming to the U.S, she was an editor for the Commercial Press International and a newsletter editor for the Sanlian Joint Publishing in Beijing, China!

We had the pleasure of sitting down with Sai to learn more about her background, her role at UCF Libraries, and what a day in her life looks like!
