Define Librarian Meaning

Librarian
A librarian is a person who is trained to help you find whatever information you might be looking for. Many people have an outdated stereotype of a librarian as an unmarried middle-aged woman who only cares about keeping kids away from her dusty old books. The truth, however, is that librarians come in all shapes, sizes, genders and ages; more important, librarians today are trained in Web design, online research (believe it or not, there's far more out there besides Google and Wikipedia), networking, and the latest Web 2.0 technologies. Books are still a huge part of the job, but librarians these days know far more about technology than most people, and are taught exactly how to use it to help you find what you need.

"The teacher loved my essay about World War I, but I would never have found all that stuff about it if I hadn't asked the librarian for help."
By Bridie
Librarian
well-minded angels with little street-sense or business-savvy, love to help and occasionally are reminded why, often experience burn-out due to low pay, bureaucratic management, and the discovery that the homeless and elderly are more familiar with libraries then your son or daughter, aspire to make a difference in a constantly changing world, are some of the most interesting individuals you will ever meet, are more excited about technology then you think.

The librarian smiled politely and said to the crazy patron, "I'm sorry Sir, but I can't help you print your email from hyperspace."

Technically, the term "librarian" refers to an individual who has obtained a Master's Degree in Library Science or Information Science, but is increasingly used to refer to any of a number of professionals and para-professionals employed in a library. The main function of a librarian is to connect individuals (patrons or customers) with information and entertainment, whether found in print, audio, video, or other (i.e. online) formats.

The librarian used the computer catalog to help Susie find a book about flesh-eating plants.

Librarian
A chick who seems really sweet and nice and shy when out. But, once you get her alone turns into a raging sexaul freak.
Generally; their sado-masocistic, man beating, she-devils form hell. i.e. They freeakin rock!

Man that chick I met at the bible group was a total librarian.
By Cherice
Librarian
A research and information geek.
Librarians desire to make the whole world of information available to people at the time they need it. Frustrated by the lack of interest in anything more complex than Britney Spears' bust size, some librarians withdraw into an autistic fantasy where everything is perfectly organized. Others catch unsuspecting researchers and brain-dump the contents of the British Library on them. Generally possessed of insane amounts of patience, as Garrison Kiellor pointed out.

"If television is a babysitter, the internet is a drunk librarian who won't shut up." -- comic caption

Librarian
General term to describe a library worker. A librarian is traditionally one who collects, catalogs and makes materials (usually books) available for library patrons. Presently, due to the increased popularity of alternative "information sources" (primarily the Internet), one can sense an inferiority complex within the profession as a whole. Because of these feelings of inadequacy, librarians are facing a collective identity crisis, trying to redefine their place in light of the more sophisticated information world. A modern definition that all can agree on has yet to be found. In reality however, the librarian is a breed dying at the hand's of technological Darwinism. Most librarians will vehemently deny this truth, arguing that, basically, the general populace is lost and greatly inconvenienced without their help. Time will certainly show us otherwise.

Librarian
A person who is so anal that they have sought a job to define their compulsive tendencies. As librarians, these 'overly enthusiastic' individuals can not only revel in their compulvieness, they can force it on other people too. Librarians often bait people into their dens by offering information or entertainment, usually of the wholesome kind.

Information in Librarian dens (often called Libraries) is sorted meticulously by a variety of nonsensical systems. Some libaries have been known to assign numbers to CDs in the order they purchase them and then organize them by number, effectively hindering any person from finding the CD that they want.
