Cindy- Although I was a Spanish speaker for 29 years, was born in Puerto Rico before moving here, I never saw these words together. I was not a librarian then but used libraries a lot as I had research classes. It was not until I moved here to the U.S. until I saw a need for these combinations of words. I would translate your request as "Bibliotecario Referencista" or "Bibliotecario de Referencia" if a male or "Bibliotecaria Referencista" or "Bibliotecaria de Referencia" if a female. Note my first option is used as a type of position. It is equivalent to saying "Ingeniero Electricista." The second option is combining the nowns but using the Spanish equivalent of the word "of." Referencia Bibliotecario or Referencia Bibliotecaria is a no-no. It is an aberration. It is an horror!!! It is like saying "Electricidad Ingeniero" o "Electricidad Ingeniera." Take care, Luis R.
