Although there are numerous biont librarians in various polities around the Terragen Sphere, a significant fraction of librarians are vots, aioids or superturing AI, or occasionally subroutines of transapients or archai, that are experts in accessing, categorizing and cataloguing a wide range of knowledge or information resources.
A skilful librarian is able to quickly access and provide vast amounts of information from recorded or encoded literary, scientific, and other topics, and will search for material that is not in their databases, searching the Known Net and even inquiring of remote computronium nodes. In the info-flood that is the modern galaxy, librarians are an essential group that is necessary for everyday functioning in the worlds of the Nexus.
