Special Libraries are libraries that have a specialized collection, cater to a specific user group, and provide specialized and exhaustive services to their users. They tend to be smaller than academic or public libraries, and they may not be open to the public. Examples of special libraries include: corporate libraries, law libraries, government libraries, and health science libraries.
Academic Libraries are libraries that are associated with post-secondary institutions; they support the curriculum of the school and fulfil the research needs of both students and faculty. They are usually accessible to the general public, either partially or completely.
