On Tuesday, January 6, 2015, Professor Boyue Yao arrived in Seattle.  Wednesday, January 7 marked his first day at UW.

Professor Yao, Chinese rare-book librarian of Peking University Library in China, joins us at the UW East Asia Library for a 13-month appointment as the CLIR project librarian for Chinese rare-books and cataloging.  He will also spend two months at UBC providing special consultation and assessment of their Chinese rare-books.

We are very pleased to have him as part of our CLIR Project Team.  Welcome, Professor Yao!
