The article is devoted to identifying trends in scientific thought regarding the role and functions of the library in the digital society, as well as the considerations of domestic scientists regarding IT technologies in library education.The views of national scholars on the content of the IT education of librarians are analyzed, the proposals on their preparation with the focus on future activity not in libraries and possible functions of the library as a "forge frame" for IT companies are emphasized.The term "Cybrarians" used in foreign publications is emphasized.It is concluded that the desire to provide the future library specialist with all the digital competences in full, which in practice is often accompanied by unsystematic, formal filling of the curricula of IT disciplines without a scientifically methodically justified level and depth of their presentation to students.The current situation is characterized by the spontaneity of innovations, which are justified by the terms "innovation", "mobility of the specialist in the labor market" (outside library institutions), theses about the "archaic" of the library and the unpopularity of the profession among modern entrants.The content of the librarian's IT education in modern conditions should be aimed at the free use of modern technologies, the ability to set tasks before the IT specialists and the systematic formation of social and pedagogical communicative competences in the field of IT technologies, which corresponds to the axiology of library activity and the needs of the state and the individual overcoming digital inequality.
