Abstract
"The student of special libraries struggles first with defining them. Special
libraries exist in every environment, hence if I define them too broadly, there is
no group other than themselves with which they may interact. However, it is
obvious that for systems planning purposes, whatever we do about academic and
public libraries benefits branches within them that are considered under some
definitions to be special libraries. Therefore, I have set these on the ""other"" side,
and have defined the special libraries on which this essay will focus to be those
that exist in business, industry, government, museums, societies, and non-profit
research agencies. It is in this group that we find several types which are constrained
by their parent organizations from responding to normal techniques of
promoting cooperative activities, and for examination their isolation should
prove useful."
