*Protecting Patron Privacy in Public Libraries*
Thursday, March 16, 2017, 11:00am-12:00pm PST

What is your library doing to provide a secure digital environment for
library patrons? How is your library protecting the privacy of patrons in
this digital world? Patron privacy is of critical importance to libraries,
and should be a foundational principle guiding library policy and practice.
It is included in the American Library Association’s Code of Ethics and the
Library Bill of Rights. As technology changes rapidly, libraries and
librarians are working hard to keep up with digital security issues to
better protect the privacy of their users. But this is not an easy task.

Come to this free webinar to learn about patron privacy issues in public
libraries. This webinar will explore two key areas of patron privacy:
public access technology and the collection of patron data. Our guests will
share practical tips and advice on how to better protect patron privacy. We
will also share recommended resources for continued learning on this topic.

Guest Speakers:

   - Bil Budington, Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF)
   - Chuck McAndrew, Lebanon Public Libraries, New Hampshire
