This paper assessed the competencies needed by special librarians in this new age of information. Thus, librarianship is a dynamic and ever-growing field/profession, today as things are changing gradually into a technological and more enhance in nature. Librarians, especially special librarians have to adapt to these changes in order to redefine their position in the evolving new world and re-examine those competencies that will make them relevant, capable and in-tune with the challenges and changes in the profession. The paper also examined the role of special librarians in the information age and expected competencies of special librarians so as to have a clear understanding of the emerging changes and the need for the special librarian to redefine those competencies to meet the realities today.
