The special libraries association today
Page 39
Abstract
Special librarians are part of the larger library community but can be differentiated from other groups of librarians (school, public, academic) by where they practice their profession, by the groups with whom they work, and most importantly, by their goals and objectives. The major objective, the utilization of knowledge for practical ends, brings special librarianship thoroughly into information processing in some unusual and unique ways. The Special Libraries Association is the largest society to which special librarians belong. The Association, like its members, is also involved in a number of activities which impinge directly upon, and affect, the role of information processing in the U.S.
