Association Quarterly is seeking submissions for the Spring 2020
issue. The OLAQ is a professional journal that showcases the writing
and work of library employees in Oregon, and is indexed in LIS
databases.</font></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><font size="2">The theme for
the Spring 2020 issue is digital privacy and security, and will be
guest-edited by Ellie Avis, Collection Development Librarian at
Josephine Community Library District and by Kelly McElroy, Student
Engagement and Community Outreach Librarian at Oregon State University. </font></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><font size="2">The American
Library Association has enshrined privacy as a core value, and library
workers seek to preserve the right to read and learn without
surveillance. However, in an increasingly connected world, new issues
face libraries and our users. How are libraries around Oregon supporting
patrons’ rights to privacy, both in the library and beyond? This issue
seeks to increase awareness of the range of privacy issues applicable to
libraries and bolster our collective understanding of libraries as
active partners in promoting privacy. This issue could include
perspectives on training staff to protect patron data, public programs
related to privacy, protecting user privacy in licensing agreements with
vendors, writing and implementing a privacy policy in an organization,
and/or collaborations within and outside the library. </font></span></p>
