Shen Zhurong (Chinese: 沈祖榮; 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 Zhurong 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.
