Abstract: On the basis of historical materials, including newspapers, journals, and university magazines, this paper makes a critical study of the history of Department of Library Science of Shanghai National University, especially its beginning and ending, faculty, curricula, teaching practices, academic achievements and unique characteristics. It points out that, although lasting for only three semesters and failing to cultivate any graduates, the department was the second of its kind offering library science program in China, and thus occupied an important position in the history of library science education in China.
