New Beginnings

It can be daunting to face new beginnings, with the uncertainty that comes with new faces, new places and new ways of doing things. In my case, any apprehension I may have experienced on assuming the role of University Librarian at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) quickly dissipated thanks to the incredible welcome I have experienced since arriving in Hong Kong, both in the city and in the university. Hong Kong has a global reputation as a cosmopolitan metropolis that connects East and West, a bridge between cultures. The reality that underpins that reputation continues to hold true, after the incredibly challenging past few years.
