In 2006 the Library hired Faculty Fellows Librarian, Xiaorong Shao shaox@appstate.edu.  In addition to other responsibilities, Dr. Shao takes a lead role in outreach on international issues on campus and beyond.  Her goal is to increase campus awareness of international resources in the library and to provide target outreach services to international faculty and students.  Among her projects, she has worked with local schools, presented and participated in university cultural activities, and used her bilingual skills to translate during visits of Chinese language speakers to our campus.
