Noticed someone commenting on the quickness of the Librarian not being enough to match the Jedi.
I disagree.
Space Marines, despite their bulk, are scarily fast. Their reaction times are markedly superior to that of trained humans, and that's just your standard battle-brother. A Chief Librarian has had centuries in which to hone his combat skills, and coupled with his innate psychic powers, the speed at which a Librarian can strike is more than a match for the Jedi.
In addition, we already know that simply removing a limb or even disembowelling a SM is often not enough to stop him from punching your skull so hard it breaks apart, due to their massively enhanced constitution, so even if the Jedi got the first swing in, there is a reasonable chance he would never be able to make a second attack. The best chance the Jedi has is to behead the SM, and if the Librarian has the centuries of experience that we know he does, then he may well be ready for that.

Hey, maybe we're all just thinking about this the wrong way.
After all, what is a Jedi Master? Someone who spent their whole life obsessing about Star Wars.
And, what is a Chief Librarian? Someone who spent their whole life obsessing about WH40K.
In other words, they are both just giant nerds!
I think their fight wouldn't be them attacking each other. I think their "fight" would just be an argument over who is more evil, a Demon Prince or a Sith Lord. And, in a fight of that nerdiness, no one wins.

Actually, while people often make the assumption that there would be two "universes" in this situation, I don't this is actually supported. Star Wars takes place a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... but in this universe. 40k takes place in the grim darkness of the far future... of this universe. By each cannon, the universe everything takes place in is this one, which means 40k and Star Wars are taking place in the same universe, at different times, and in different places. As far as I know the 40k cannon is that the Warp has always existed and exists throughout the material universe, although its nature may vary significantly, so it should be present on, say, the Death Star. Similarly, any ability the force has to "flow" through things should be unimpeded on, say, Cadia.
Also, Master Chief Librarian would totally kick Master Chief Jedi's ass. He is a 133 sn1p3r, and would just no scope him in the face with his tactics.
Anuvver fing - when they do sumfing, they try to make it look like somfink else to confuse everybody. When one of them wants to lord it over the uvvers, 'e says "I'm very speshul so'z you gotta worship me", or "I know summink wot you lot don't know, so yer better lissen good". Da funny fing is, arf of 'em believe it and da over arf don't, so 'e 'as to hit 'em all anyway or run fer it.
