Ms. Qinqin Zhang, Research Data Librarian

What Do You Do at the Library? What are You Responsible for?As the Research Data Librarian, I lead and advance our research data services to support CUHK researchers. I oversee the strategic planning, delivery, and continuous development of Research Data services across the CUHK community. My responsibilities include maintaining and enhancing our Data Management Plan Tool and the CUHK Data Repository, which I support through training workshops and seminars on related topics. To promote best practices in Research Data Management, I actively collaborate with Faculty members and other campus stakeholders and engage student Data Champions in initiatives that foster a culture of responsible data stewardship and effective Data Management at CUHK.

What is Your Educational Background and Work Experience?

I earned my undergraduate degree in Computer Science from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and completed my first master’s degree in Instructional Technology in the United States (US). While working as an instructional designer at a corporate library in the US, I discovered my passion for librarianship. This led me to pursue a master’s degree in Library and Information Studies in Canada, where I spent over a decade as an academic librarian at two institutions before relocating to Hong Kong and joining the CUHK Library in December 2024.

 

In my previous roles in Canadian academic libraries, I focused on Faculty Liaison, OA, and student outreach. Former colleagues have described me as a strong team player with a deep commitment to user-centred services and a collaborative spirit, both within the Library and across institutions.

 

It is a privilege to be part of the CUHK Library, working alongside high-calibre colleagues to deliver excellent services to our community. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about research data services or simply for a chat. I look forward to connecting with you!
