As the founder of Chinese modern library science and librarianship, Yang Zhaozhe and Li Yanting s early library activities are very important documents and historical materials. Yet little attention has been paid and few studies have been lent to them in the library academic circle. In this article the author tries to bring to light the reason for Yang Zhaozhe＇s to translate Library Science Guide, his consciousness in composing Library Science suitable to China and thebook＇s impact. Comments are made on his report and introduction of Japan libraries made on his way to the United States, and his friendship with Li Yanting in the United States and their library activities in China. Primary materials are provided to rediscover the two librarianship forerunners＇ little known early academic activities and, through case study, to trace the historical development of Chinese librarianship and academic activities at the first stage.
