Fil-Am LIS Student Wins Scholarship

Category: Clippings

CLA SCHOLARSHIP FOR MINORITY STUDENTS IN MEMORY OF EDNA YELLAND

Melanee Vicedo is a student at UCLA’s Information Studies program. After emigrating from the Philippines at age 7, she was introduced to her local library and the branch became one of the most useful tools into understanding her new home. From the children’s section to the university stacks, her appreciation for the services and knowledge residing in libraries has grown exponentially. She received her B.A. in Education from Cal State Los Angeles. She currently works as a Library Assistant at UCLA’s Biomedical Library and has a summer internship at the Marina Del Rey branch of the L.A. County Public Libraries. She has worked with UCLA’s LGBT Library and the Los Angeles Filipino American Library and was recently elected co-president of the ALA Student Chapter. Melanee will graduate in Summer 2007 and anticipates working as an academic librarian in the community college level.

For more information about the scholarship, see the California Library Association website.
