Privacy Field Guides: Take Action on Privacy in Your Library

Privacy is a core value of librarianship, yet it often feels like an overwhelming and onerous undertaking. With a deluge of information telling library workers why privacy is important and what the issues are, there has until now been a lack of practical how-to guides for making concrete privacy changes in the library. The Institute of Museum and Library Services, in partnership with the American Library Association, has sponsored the creation of Privacy Field Guides. Come to this interactive session to learn more about how you can use these guides in your library, discuss privacy concerns and ask questions in a judgement free zone, and leave empowered to make privacy changes at your library!

The event is finished.
