Root Explanation

Cybrarian is a blend of "cyber-" (from Greek "kybernetes", meaning steersman or governor) and "librarian" (from Latin "librarius", meaning a person who works with books). The term refers to a librarian who specializes in digital or online resources, effectively steering users through the vast sea of information available in cyberspace.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'steersman' ('cyber-') guiding you through a library of digital resources — that's what a cybrarian does.
