Balancing Privacy And Access In Personal Digital Archives, Virginia A. Dressler May 2019

Balancing Privacy And Access In Personal Digital Archives, Virginia A. Dressler

Virginia A Dressler

The session will address privacy concerns to consider within personal digital archives, particularly when access to information from the item or collection is openly available. Privacy is often an elusive term, difficult to pin down and collectively define. And perhaps even more difficult to use and apply as a working standard or ethical value to uphold within a project.
The session will outline types of private information that may be more readily apparent, such as personally identifiable information (social security number, medical information, etc.), as well as that which may be less obvious or inconspicuous in nature. The impact of …

Big Data's Impact On Privacy For Librarians And Information Professionals, Lindsey M. Harper, Shannon M. Oltmann Feb 2019

Big Data's Impact On Privacy For Librarians And Information Professionals, Lindsey M. Harper, Shannon M. Oltmann

Lindsey M. Harper

In a digital age, it is very difficult to maintain complete privacy when posting on social media or making purchases. Individual activity on the internet is increasingly collected by corporations, even with the user’s knowledge, and can be used to predict future behavior, purchasing choices or other sensitive subjects. This data analysis is often done without a user’s consent and in many cases presents unethical behavior and breaches of privacy. Big data can be beneficial to libraries in many ways, and if pointed at library systems, rather than the habits of patrons, can also keep privacy intact.

Clinician Assessments Of Workplace Security Training - An Informatics Perspective, Juanita Fernando, Linda Dawson Dec 2007

Clinician Assessments Of Workplace Security Training - An Informatics Perspective, Juanita Fernando, Linda Dawson

Associate Professor Linda Dawson

This paper describes and analyses clinicians’ assessments of workplace privacy and security (PaS) training in the context of contemporary health information system (HIS) practice. The PaS training underpins national e-health frameworks. The paper draws on findings from a forthcoming dissertation. The ‘questerview’ technique was applied to this case study of 26 clinicians in three Victorian (Australia) public hospitals. The technique relies on data collection that applies standardised questions and questionnaires during interviews. Respondents were recorded while they completed the standardised questions and questionnaires and were encouraged to discuss their responses to items in detail. Data analysis involved the scrutiny of …
