Workshop Description:
Society’s concept of privacy has changed in the Google and Facebook era. Libraries operated under a different standard, but why? And should libraries change their philosophy of maintaining strict patron privacy?
Join us to learn the ethics behind our current policies and participate in hands-on activities to think through your own approach to library patron confidentiality and privacy issues.
