Before that she had no idea that North Carolina had a statewide mammography registry—and that this information had been forwarded to a national database. And there is no way for the health consumer (you!) to know that this information is being used illegally and how it might have affe cted your being turned down for insurance or a job.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:11.25pt;margin-left:0in;line-height:17.25pt;background:white'><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#444444'>So what is the problem? Aren’t health registries helpful? After all, think of the life-saving value of organ transplant databases.

All surveys show that the general public does care about their personal privacy. But they feel powerless and unable to keep up with all the potential invasions of their personal data. Librarians, let’s step into that void! We already deal with privacy issues daily when we protect the confidentiality of user circulation records. We require OPAC vendors to include privacy considerations in the RFP’s. We support the<span class=apple-converted-space> </span><a href="http://www.readerprivacy.org/" target="_blank"><span style='color:black'>Campaign for Reader Privacy</span></a><span class=apple-converted-space> </span>because the USA PATRIOT Act threatens our constitutional rights to read without the government looking over our shoulder. We did this long before privacy was in the headlines. Librarians were there from the beginning. Let’s build on that professional expertise and ethical concern—and the public’s trust in us.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:17.25pt;background:white'><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#444444'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p style='mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:11.25pt;margin-left:0in;line-height:17.25pt;background:white'><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#444444'>We now need to take this experience and use it strategically in our communities. When our libraries sponsor small business workshops, we need to include a session on privacy. When I attended March’s SXSW I was inspired by the enthusiasm of all those young tech entrepreneurs, but shocked at their lack of information about privacy laws that could make or break their bottom line.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:11.25pt;margin-left:0in;line-height:17.25pt;background:white'><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#444444'>We need to have Privacy Pizza Parties for young people, like our recent event at a Lexington, KY public library branch. Teens need to understand that they can make smart c hoices when it comes to their school, health, Facebook, and other personal records—so that they aren’t blocked from getting scholarships, health care, or a job because of a misplaced or mismarked Facebook photo or unfounded gossip.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:17.25pt;background:white'><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#444444'>This week the<span class=apple-converted-space> </span><a href="http://www.privacyrevolution.org/"><span style='color:black'>Privacy Revolution website</span></a><span class=apple-converted-space> </span>will be filled with information and energy, but our campaign is forever. Just like<span class=apple-converted-space> </span><a href="http://www.ala.org/advocacy/banned/bannedbooksweek"><span style='color:black'>Banned Books Week</span></a>, libraries can sponsor programs year round. We need to hear from you about what works and what doesn’ t. Let’s take the public concern over privacy and bring it into our libraries in the form of our collections, content, community forums, workshops—all our programming. And in this election year, this is a perfect topic to bring both Republicans and Democrats into the same room to address a topic of mutual concern.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#444444'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
