Why special libraries?: Special Libraries being such broad category, offers opportunities to work in wide variety of settings. Settings that can be very similar or quite divorced from the traditional idea of what a library looks like. Each of these settings comes with unique and interesting challenges that make force the librarian to think outside the box, they also offer the chance to apply LIS skills in places people wouldn’t usually think they belong.
