<div dir="ltr">Do you have experience addressing privacy issues at your library that you would like to share?<br><br>The
OLA Intellectual Freedom Committee is looking for colleagues from
different types of libraries to join our panel discussions at the <a href="http://www.olaweb.org/ola-conference-2014">OLA Conference</a> next April in Salem. We are also compiling resources for a
privacy toolkit on these issues that will be relevant for Oregon
libraries.<br>
<br>Does your library educate patrons about privacy and related issues
in any way? For example, do you teach kids about being safe online? Do
you help seniors be savvy about their Facebook privacy settings? Do
you teach college students to protect and manage their identity online?
If your library is educating the public about privacy-related issues,
formally or informally, we would like to hear about this service.<br>
<br>Also, we are looking for panelists and resources from different
library types about how privacy is addressed in your library. Has your
library conducted a privacy audit? How do you train staff about privacy
issues? Do you have a process for reviewing the privacy protections in
third party vendor contracts? We would like to learn from your
experiences.<br>
<br>For all of us working in libraries, we face the challenge of
embracing new technologies and meeting changing expectations for
services, while still adhering to the core library values of protecting
privacy and confidentiality. Please share your experiences and
resources, so we can puzzle this out together! Contact Garnetta Wilker,
IFC co-chair <<a href="mailto:gwilker@pps.net" target="_blank">gwilker@pps.net</a>> or me <<a href="mailto:rrichard@pcc.edu" target="_blank">rrichard@pcc.edu</a>> to learn more about the panel discussions planned at the OLA Conference and the Privacy Toolkit.<br>
