Special libraries

Special libraries are information management institutions that focus on a specific subject area or serve a particular group of users, such as corporations, hospitals, museums, or governmental agencies. Unlike public or academic libraries, which offer a broad range of materials, special libraries curate specialized resources, databases, and information tailored to meet the unique needs of their users. They often provide expert research assistance and support for decision-making, helping professionals access the knowledge and data relevant to their field. Special libraries play a crucial role in advancing specialized knowledge and fostering innovation within their communities.
