Research area libraries are specialized libraries that focus on a specific subject or field of study. These libraries often have a collection of materials, including books, journals, and other resources, that are particular to that subject area. Research area libraries may cater to a specific academic discipline, such as science, engineering, or social sciences, or they may focus on a specific topic, such as genealogy or local history. These libraries often provide services and resources tailored to the needs of researchers in that particular field.
