Are products used by public libraries considered "edtech", or is there a separate set of terminology?

  Not edtech, govtech. Public libraries are run by local government municipalities and are generally a department (Libraries, not each individual library) within a city. (We work with local governments, including libraries.)

    Awesome, thanks. I've seen a couple articles that referenced librarians and edtech together, but this gives me something else to look for.

  There's overlap, at least in CA. My company has a license with the CA public library system, which includes some educational libraries. Libraries also perform educational functions—our tools are used by literacy tutors in libraries, in much the same way that they are used by teachers/students in classrooms. So for some products, these guidelines are probably relevant, but for other (e.g., infrastructure) products they're probably much less relevant.

    That helps, thanks!
