The role of the cybrarian

According to a recent Career Builder article posted on CNN, technology has played an evolutionary role in some of today's job opportunities.  With the five careers that are listed in the article, cybrarian made the list.  According to the article, cybrarians possess all the research and data gathering skills of the traditional librarian, but end up applying that knowledge to online technology. 

I think most information professionals can be called "cybrarians" and have been merging technology and research skills long before that term was coined.  How does today's librarian ensure that their clients don't think of them only in terms of books and journals?

Cybrarian was my job title somewhere late 90s when the Internet was new. The perception of my role did not so much change with the title, but with a different scope of work. Less emphasis on books and journals, more focus on structuring the first intranet, building an electronic filing system and providing industry and company research.
This work was more in line with what our department needed and offered more value. And that is something which is still true today - do the things you do still matter? Are your providing the maximum value with your skills to your organisation?

Job titles mean nothing since it is all about what you do to align your services to the organizations goals and objectives, keeping in mind people, processes and THEN technology. Technology is not always the solution and is sometimes not about computers as well.

An excellent read. In fact, yes, cybrarian is more than a librarian, a teacher, a technician, a webmaster, a technology coordinator and a geek. They make that leap into the brave new world of cyberspace.

I am not a librarian but I am currently in a program for a MLS. This is the first i have had heard of the term "cybarian" but I do not think the title matters for the industry or society will always come up with a new name for something applicable to the technology it surrounds.

I think the natural and biological sources of vitamins and minerals are best compared with other packaging and plastic products. Always try to push things you need in your home. It is not only going to be cheaper, but it will be much more beneficial to your health and your family.
