Timeline

1931

Suzine Har Nicolescu (March 21, 1931 – February 22, 2013) was an American librarian who was one of the founders of the Asian Pacific American Librarians Association (APALA).

She served fourteen years as the chief librarian at Medgar Evers College and fought against discrimination in the library profession.

Suzine Har was born in Seoul, Korea on March 21, 1931.

She earned a bachelor's degree at Ewha Womans University, as well as two master's degrees from the University of Denver: a Master of Library Science and a Master in Modern Languages/Literatures and Comparative Linguistics.

She later went on to earn a Ph.D. in Library Information Systems from Simmons College.

Her dissertation topic was "A Study to Determine a Standard Bibliographic Control System for Nonbook Materials in the City University of New York Colleges."

Nicolescu worked in the University of Denver library for two years as a cataloger/bibliographer.

1980

Nicolescu was one of the founding members of the Asian Pacific American Librarians Association (APALA) when it was founded in 1980; she served as the organization's president from 1985-1986.

Along with fellow librarian Henry Chang, Nicolescu directed a needs assessment study for the National Commission on Libraries and Information Science Task Force on Improving Library and Information Services to Cultural Minorities.

Focusing on the information needs of the Asian American community, they surveyed 240 public libraries in urban areas.

Their findings "indicated that too much responsibility for multicultural service in public libraries was placed on minority librarians alone".

1982

Their 1982 report emphasized the need for an understanding of the ethnic and racial makeup of communities, appropriate language fluency, and a service-oriented positive attitude.

1984

In 1984 she was awarded a Fulbright-Hays fellowship, conducting research on the cataloging and classification systems of the libraries of three major Korean universities: Ewha Womans University, Yonsei University, and Sogang University, investigating how those libraries' catalog information could be computerized and shared internationally.

Nicolescu also lectured in Korea and other Asian countries as part of her grant.

Nicolescu talked openly about librarianship as one of the lowest paid professions, and lamented the fact that the compensation of women librarians remained far below that of men with equal responsibility.

She worked to call out discrimination where she saw it and confront it with patience, objectivity, and effort.

She encouraged librarians from around the world to unite in pursuing common goals such as equal access to information.
