- Shen Zurong (Chinese: 沈祖榮; pinyin: Shě Zǔróng; 1884–1977), also known as Samuel T. Y. Seng, is considered the "Father of Library Science in China". A native of Yichang, he was the first professional librarian in China and a main contributor to the New Library Movement in China in the early twentieth century. As a result, American librarianship principles, technology and education spread throughout China. Shen Zurong also co-founded the Boone Library School, the first library science educational institute in his country. It was absorbed into Wuhan University in 1952 and currently exists as the Wuhan University School of Information Management. Shen Zurong was sent by the American librarian and missionary Mary Elizabeth Wood to study library science in 1914. Upon his return in 1917, he began a tour around China to promote American librarianship. Equipped with film, models and statistical charts, he went to almost every province in China. One of his many contributions was the implementation of the Dewey Decimal System, providing a modern classification scheme for Chinese books. (en)
