Information Centre, Documentation Centre & Specialized Library?

These above three are same in terms of acquisition, processing, storing and dissemination of information to the users. But these are differences in term of subject-wise for instance DESIDOC (provide information related to Defense), NASSDOC (Social Science), NISCAIR (Science), NISSAT Sectoral centers in India etc. After independence NISCAIR (formerly known as INSDOC), New Delhi, this is first Information centre in India.
