I Spy: Patron Privacy Issues At Your Library, M. Teresa Doherty

VCU Libraries Faculty and Staff Presentations

Using photo examples of situations that may expose patron information or compromise intellectual freedom ideals, this presentation will help library staff understand how to protect your patron's privacy and to advocate for privacy within your library. Examples include open holds shelving with patron name visible, self-check machine receipts that contain the patron name, print signup sheets that show patron name and contact info, and many more.
