Special Libraries
Special libraries that maintain materials with accurate and up-to-date information on the spectrum of disabilities, disability issues and services for people with disabilities, their families, and other concerned individuals. Depending on the community being served, libraries may include related medical, health, and mental health information and information on legal rights, accommodations and employment opportunities. Disability focused libraries may also integrate assistive technology into their facilities and services to meet the needs of people with a broad range of disabilities, including learning, mobility, sensory and developmental disabilities. Collections of books, magazines and other materials in formats that are accessible to people who are unable to use regular printed materials because of a visual, physical or other disability are generally also available. Included may be Braille materials; large print resources; captioned and/or described films, videos and DVDs; audio books; and other similar materials that are generally circulated by mail.
Special libraries that are used primarily by judges, attorneys and their law clerks; government officials; legislators, law students and teaching staff; historians and other scholars; and sometimes members of the general public to research the law. They may be operated by government, public or private educational institutions, nonprofit societies or private law firms. Law libraries may also have law librarians who help researchers navigate the library's collections.
