Special Librarianship

Special librarianship involves managing and organizing information resources tailored to specific fields or organizations, such as medical, legal, corporate, or government sectors. These librarians acquire, categorize, and provide access to specialized knowledge—journals, reports, databases—that supports professionals’ decision-making and research needs. They often develop customized information solutions, train users on information tools, and ensure rapid access to relevant data. This field combines traditional library skills with industry-specific expertise, helping organizations operate efficiently by enabling their members to find crucial information quickly and accurately.
