            HONORING MS. GLORIA CHAO, RUTGERS LAW LIBRARIAN

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. ROBERT E. ANDREWS

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 20, 2010

  Mr. ANDREWS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Gloria Chao for 
both her service as a librarian at the Rutgers School of Law-Camden and 
for her infectious positive attitude.
  Ms. Chao received her Bachelor of Arts from Providence University in 
1967 and a Master of Science in Library Science (M.S.L.S.) from the 
Graduate School of Library and Information Science at Villanova 
University in 1970. After graduation, Ms. Chao worked with Temple Law 
Library and Air Asia in Taiwan. In 1979, Ms. Chao joined the library 
staff at Rutgers School of Law in Camden, New Jersey. Upon joining the 
library team, she immediately played an integral role in establishing 
the cataloging department and Research Library Information Network 
(RLIN) system. By 1984, Ms. Chao was appointed Head of Technical and 
Automated Services.
  In her 31 years with Rutgers School of Law-Camden, Ms. Chao has been 
a model of success, hard work and positivity. She is affectionately 
referred to as the ``sunshine'' of the law library and the law school. 
Currently she is using her bravery, optimism and strength to battle 
stage 4 lung cancer. She is facing the disease while keeping her sense 
of humor intact.
  Madam Speaker, Ms. Gloria Chao has helped students and faculty find 
and secure knowledgeable resources and information while brightening 
the days of all around her. I congratulate Ms. Chao on her 
accomplishments at Rutgers and wish her the utmost strength and courage 
in this time of sickness.
