  • Abstract:
  • The evolution of technology is transforming the conventional approaches used by librarians into more contemporary ones. Since the advent of web 2.0, the term "librarian" has been used to refer to knowledge managers, information managers, digital librarians, and now, increasingly, cybrarians. The skill sets that librarians must build or acquire have significantly changed as a result of this evolution. The environment in which librarians work is changing with greater access to a wider range of information, faster information retrieval, and greater complexity in finding, analyzing, and linking updated information. The role of librarians in the new environment is growing exponentially. The paper is trying to do the SWOT analysis of the changing profession of librarian towards cybrarian due to rapidly changing technology and new avenues for information dissemination.
