In the information landscape there are three types of establishments of information sectors. They are “(1) those engaged in producing and distributing information and cultural products; (2) those that provide the means to transmit or distribute these products as well as data or communications; and (3) those that process data.” (O’Connell, 2019, ETL 401 module, p.14)

Which category do libraries fall under this definition? I think libraries are engaged in distributing information and cultural products as managers and distributors of information.
