History
[edit | edit source]Shanghai Library was originally established in 1952.[5][6]
In 1958, Shanghai Library merged with Shanghai Science and Technology Library (formerly Mingfu Library), Shanghai Newspaper Library (formerly Hongying Library), and Shanghai Historical Documents Library (formerly United Library), which were all of considerable size at the time, to become the second largest public library in the country after the National Library of China.[7][3]
In November 1958, the Shanghai Institute of Scientific and Technical Information was established. In October 1995, Shanghai Library merged with the Shanghai Institute of Scientific and Technical Information to become a research-oriented public library and a comprehensive information research center.[5][3]
