Privacy Literacy Part 3 - Privacy and Policies (Training Tuesdays Webinar)

Privacy Literacy Part 3 - Privacy and Policies (Training Tuesdays Webinar)

The Internet is a window looking out to the world.  Like any typical window, you can see the outside and anyone on the outside can see you. 

Because of that, the first lesson regarding Privacy on the Internet is that you have none.  There is no such thing as absolute privacy where the Internet is concerned.  To be online means you are out in the open and visible.  That being said, there are ways we can limit what is visible, just like we put curtains on our windows.

In this 3-part series, we will discuss many aspects of privacy, from the hardware we use to the policies we create for our libraries.
 

Privacy Literacy Part 3 - Privacy and Policies

In this session, we will also discuss the impact of the Patriot Act on libraries and how to craft clear privacy policies for staff and patrons.  We will also discuss aspects of staff training, from how to inform the public of privacy issues to handling requests for information from law enforcement services. During the webinar, we will also explore the numerous online resources for keeping up to date on regulations and technology.

In this session, participants will be able to:

•           Develop a library privacy policy for patrons and staff

•           Identify resources for keeping up with changes in the PATRIOT and 

USA Freedom acts.

•           Create training guidelines for staff

•           Identify resources for keeping up with technology

•           Draft a security tip sheet for patrons
