Many information specialists complement their talents with an area of individual expertise.
For example, master's students with the appropriate academic background may be preparing for careers in historical archives, museums or other special collections. Those with a science degree may be looking at pharmaceutical, medical, or healthcare-related information settings. Students with foreign language skills are especially sought by major research libraries. An appealing aspect of an information services career is that it is often possible to find creative ways to use individual talents and interests. The Youth and School Services specialization focuses on the information needs of children and young adults.
