Definition 3 "a person or software that processes and organize information" implies that librarians are software. Librarians are people who sometimes use software, but NOT software. —This unsigned comment was added by 157.62.180.23 (talkcontribs) 2006-04-24 20:51:43.

Thanks for the note. That fragment of the definition presumably did not attempt to call human librarians software, but rather extended the definition of librarian to include software systems. Regardless, if librarian is really used to describe such software systems, it is a figurative reference to the role of a human librarian. So, I removed the software reference.
