Archivists aren't a kind of librarian[edit]
Removed statement that archivists are a subclass of librarians. They are related fields which overlap, but archives are not subclasses of libraries, nor are archivists subclasses of librarians. While archivists may have master's degrees in library science (others come in from history, materials conservation, etc.), libraries are archives are separate kinds of institutions per the society of American Archivists. The Archivist entry on Wikipedia as of 2018-12-03 puts it very well:
"The archivist occupation is distinct from that of librarian. The two occupations have separate courses of training, adhere to separate and distinct principles, and are represented by separate professional organizations. In general, the librarian tends to deal with published media (where the metadata, such as author, title, and date of publication, may be readily apparent and can be presented in standardized form), whereas the archivist deals with unpublished media (which has different challenges such as the metadata not always being immediately apparent, containing complications and variety, and more likely to depend on provenance)."

Support Perhaps subclass of Q1662485 (information professional)? Dan scott (talk) 01:41, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
That's a good idea, Dan. Perhaps librarians should also be subclassed to those, since right now they're subclassed to "white-collar worker" which isn't wrong but isn't very specific either. Ruthbrarian (talk) 13:59, 4 December 2018 (UTC) - ETA that info professionals are subclasses of white-collar workers, which means librarians inherit that.
