Meet Your Lane Library Staff: Danyang Zhang
What do you do at the library?
I am a system administrator doing computing support. In other words, I talk to the computers.
What do you like best about the people who use Lane Library?
I like our users because they are very serious about their research here in the library, which makes me feel the importance of our work.
What is the most rewarding (or favorite) part of your job?
Our users could be first-line medical workers, i.e. doctors or students, who are saving people’s lives. They could be patients who are in the most challenging time of their lives. Therefore our work indirectly, sometimes directly, affects people’s lives. That’s the most rewarding of our work.
How long have you worked at Lane?
So long that I lost count 😊 It’s basically my whole professional career.

I like to exercise, dance, talk to friends, paint, and do Chinese calligraphy sometimes.
