Films in which the protagonist or other major characters are librarians and/or archivists, but the occupation does NOT directly affect the plot.


Class III:


Films in which the librarian and/or archivist plays a secondary role, ranging from a supporting character to a minor character with perhaps only a few lines in one memorable or significant scene.


Class IV:


Films in which the librarian and/or archivist plays a cameo role and is seen only briefly with little or no dialogue.
