Abstract
Kazakhstan is the largest country in Central Asia where a lot of state and industrial developments are still ongoing as a result of a transition from a Soviet regime. As such, libraries as institutions remain to be a part of its professional reformation. The predominant known types of libraries are categorized as public, academic, or school libraries and library professionals are not aware of the existence of the concept of special libraries. As libraries continue to improve, cultural and information and knowledge about special libraries are left behind and there is no single association which directly monitors the status of these repositories of knowledge. Hence, information about special libraries are very scarce and no survey has been done to count and know the status of existing special libraries in the country
