Отмечено, что распространение новых технологий и моделей коммуникации ставит под сомнение ценность библиотек и библиотекарей в цифровую эпоху. Библиотеки независимо от видовой и ведомственной принадлежности должны реагировать на вызовы времени. Отечественные и зарубежные исследования направлены на осмысление новой роли библиотеки и библиотекаря. В статье показано, как освещена эта тема применительно к специальным библиотекам; проанализированы исследования, отчёты и публикации профессиональных ассоциаций специальных библиотек, которые активно ищут решения, способствующие сохранению значимости таких библиотек в будущем; рассказано о ре­брендинге, предпринятом Ассоциацией специальных библиотек (США) и Американской ассоциацией юридических библиотек.
