@InfAgit Because I screwed up schedule today I'll miss this live, but some participants may be interested in this: http://ir.lib.uwo.ca/fimspub/35/- Introductions
- Hello everyone! The clock reads 2:00, so let's start with today's #critlib about teaching privacy. Again, Qs are at http://critlib.org/privacy-education-in-libraries/ …
Hi #critlib I'm Alison and I run @libraryfreedom. Privacy education is like 85% of what we do.- .@adammizelle Readings not essential for participation! #critlib
Hi #critlib. I'm Bonnie. Was an academic lib. I now work on privacy projects here at @datasociety.
Bummed I can't make today's #critlib on privacy education but profoundly looking forward to reading it later! http://critlib.org/privacy-education-in-libraries/ …- Q1. How do you define privacy, in and outside of the library? #critlib
- Check it out, #critlib: 76% of adults say libraries should definitely teach online security and privacy protection http://pewrsr.ch/1F9PiPb
- #critlibTo answer @InfAgit's first question, I think we are thinking about privacy more and more as encroachment on patrons by the state
- Totally an answer! One of my suggested readings talks about that. http://centerformediajustice.org/2015/10/targeted-surveillance-civil-rights-and-the-fight-for-democracy/ … @libraryrat4 #critlib
A1: Too long for a tweet. #critlib pic.twitter.com/67vEdXCbWH- This too! Class is in session. #critlib https://twitter.com/bfister/status/673947281305931776 …
- Q2. How do you teach yourself about privacy? #critlib
A2 Rely heavily on trusted lib networks thinking critically abt this stuff. Ahem, @flexlibris and the gang... #critlib
A2 I follow @flexlibris – her #DRiL workshop this summer was phenomenal. Also stuff from @EFF like https://ssd.eff.org/en #critlib- .@PoorCharlotte How does the library figure into that as a watcher itself? Is the library always (seen as) a "good" actor? #critlib
- @rowmyboat @PoorCharlotte Interesting; I'd like to think self-checkout isn't solely to reduce staffing levels... #critlib
@InfAgit It hasn't reduced staffing here that I've noticed, people still need help w/ many things. @barnlib @rowmyboat @PoorCharlotte- A2 I also like @Info_Activism's work, among the other orgs mentioned so far. https://www.tacticaltech.org/projects/11 #critlib
A2 Also like everyone I can't say enough good things abt @flexlibris & her crew, @libraryfreedom has terrific resources re:privacy #critlib
#critlib A2 I follow @flexlibris- Q3. How do you share information and skills related to privacy with your colleagues? #critlib
- A3 At my library, we're partner on a grant to do digital privacy trainings for most front-line staff. http://www.dataprivacyproject.org/initiatives/privacy-literacy-training/ … #critlib
- Care...or be able to prioritize caring. We all have much to do & care abt. #critlib is helpful for making the case. https://twitter.com/PoorCharlotte/status/673946388460380163 …
- @PoorCharlotte People forget about the core values. #critlib
- @PoorCharlotte Do you talk with researchers, fac, students on campus about privacy issues? Does that come up at all? #critlib
@EamonTewell You should do that with your collection development and e-resource librarians, too. #critlib
@kevinseeber for sure! Last summer we were figuring out whether to switch e-book vendors and privacy was part of that discussion #critlib- Has anyone ended up encouraging students/patrons to take privacy concerns to library administration? #critlib https://twitter.com/kevinseeber/status/673946380923047940 …
- Q4. How do you teach specific topics (e.g. passwords, safe browsing, social media privacy) to your library’s users? #critlib
- A4: How about not *Googling* anything while teaching, but using a search engine that respects your privacy? #critlib #imissscroogle
- @AprilHathcock In what context within Schol Comm do you discuss privacy? Around open data, TOS, research data or something else completely?
- @Bibliocracy hello have u heard of @libraryfreedom
- Re: @Bibliocracy: this shit is absolutely political & that must be embedded. Name the adversaries: Google, Microsoft, FBI, police. #critlib
- So you think there's still a fight to be had? We haven't lost yet? @Bibliocracy #critlib
@Bibliocracy Training to subvert a way of raising political awareness? Makes the problem concrete, not abstract monstrosity? #critlib
@edrabinski I think you need a two-pronged approach; have to be careful not to go "look, fact of life"- @Bibliocracy Probably many-pronged approach.
- @flexlibris What do you find are common bad habits? #critlib
- @flexlibris You recommend Disconnect instead?
A4 mostly when helping patrons 1-on-1 with computer/password issues #critlib #publiclibraries- I do this too - I like to sneak in tid-bits on privacy as I help someone do something routine #critlib https://twitter.com/BiblioCatherine/status/673951803927486464 …
- @libraryrat4 this is something I'd like to work on too, since this is usually how an opp to talk privacy comes up for me #critlib
@EamonTewell half the time I look away and then the patron is gone with their fb still open on the screen O.o- Q5. How do you balance ideals of commitment to privacy with real-world practicalities? #critlib
- .@AprilHathcock In both personal and professional settings, I imagine? (E.g. using Google products for easy collaboration?) #critlib
- A5 Yep +1: I do some (gcal/docs) not others (gsearch/FB), I know that's not the best, but is what I can do now. #critlib @AprilHathcock
A5 what @Bibliocracy & @flexlibris were prev discussing - being vocal about how we are forced to compromise privacy in daily life #critlb
@atrumbled An example? My mom just pointed out how she shouldn't have to tell the CC company when she is traveling.- @atrumbled weighing 'protection' vs. 'privacy' in this case. Didn't think about it until she complained abt it.
. @BiblioCatherine finding those small teachable moments are essential in raising awareness and working towards change #critlib- .@hailthefargoats agreed! and 1-on-1 aids in keeping their info private/secure #critlib
- Yes @BiblioCatherine and that one-on-one provides the space for questions that might not get asked in a larger workshop #critlib
- @AprilHathcock @InfAgit @EamonTewell this is huge, I've been hearing about orgs having success but it needs to be widespread #critlib
@VBRodrigues1 Explaining to user why decision was made based on privacy often met w/ "don't care" eg not keeping reading history- @VBRodrigues1 Fight on vendor side, institutional side, user side. If users can get great service & privacy, they will want both. #critlib
- Pitches / wrapping up
Hi #critlib great chat about privacy today. FYI... the 2015 CFP for the LACUNY Institute is now available! http://lacuny.org/institute-call-for-proposals/ …
Pardon our plug for this class with @flexlibris #critlib https://twitter.com/LibJuiceAcademy/status/672535386137059329 …- Thanks for the great #critlib chat. There were tons of NYC libs. I need to have you all over to @datasociety to keep chatting.
