The introduction and localization of library science has benefited a lot from the advocacy and promotion of returned students. The cultivation of early professional librarians in China was deeply influenced by the United States, and the study of library science in the United States began a trend in the Republic of China.In 1924, Alfred K’aiming Ch’iu who was a librarian trained locally in the library department of Wuchang Mandarin University,went to study in the USA. This article takes it as a dividing line and divides the library scholars who went to study in the United States during the Republic of China into two generations. Compared with the first generation, the number of librarians who went to the United States in the second generation has doubled, and the group characteristics are more prominent. This article analyzes the relevant historical materials at home and abroad, compiles a list of second-generation library scholars going to the United States, and combines historical facts to systematically analyze the background of the second-generation library scholars going to the United States, their ways of studying abroad, their experiences in the United States,their impacts and contributions.
