Dark forces conspire online to undermine privacy, compromise
accounts, stalk, troll, and just plain creep us out. Libraries have a
longstanding tradition of protecting their users’ privacy and confidentiality,
but often fail to take basic steps to protect patrons’ use of their public
access computers and digital resources. Attend this special Choose
Privacy Week webinar to learn more about how online surveillance works, get
practical tips on improving privacy on public computers, and gain a better understanding
of current legal threats to digital privacy and online anonymity. Ann
Crewdson and Helen Adams, co-chairs of the ALA-IFC Privacy Subcommittee, will
also introduce the newly revised ALA Privacy Tool Kit that includes new
sections on the impact of emerging technologies on library users’ privacy.
