A quick, easy-to-read synthesis of theory, guidelines, and
evidence-based research, this book offers timely, practical
guidance for library and information professionals who must
navigate ethical crises in information privacy and stay on top of
emerging privacy trends. Emerging technologies create new concerns
about information privacy within library and information
organizations, and many information professionals lack guidance on
how to navigate the ethical crises that emerge when information
privacy and library policy clash. What should we do when a patron
leaves something behind? How do we justify filtering internet
access while respecting accessibility and privacy? How do we
balance new technologies that provide anonymity with the library's
need to prevent the illegal use of their facilities? Library
Patrons' Privacy presents clear, conversational, evidence-based
guidance on how to navigate these ethical questions in information
privacy. Ideas from professional organizations, government
entities, scholarly publications, and personal experiences are
synthesized into an approachable guide for librarians at all stages
of their career. This guide, designed by three experienced LIS
scholars and professionals, is a quick and enjoyable read that
students and professionals of all levels of technical knowledge and
skill will find useful and applicable to their libraries. Presents
practical, evidence-based guidance for navigating common ethical
problems in library and information science Introduces library and
information professionals and students to emerging issues in
information privacy Provides students and practitioners with a
foundation of practical problem-solving strategies for handling
information privacy issues in emerging technologies Guides the
design of new information privacy policy in all types of libraries
Encourages engagement with information privacy technologies to
assist in fulfilling the American Library Association's core values
The subjects of this volume are more relevant than ever, especially
in light of the raft of electoral scandals concerning voter
profiling. This volume brings together papers that offer conceptual
analyses, highlight issues, propose solutions, and discuss
practices regarding privacy and data protection. It is one of the
results of the twelfth annual International Conference on
Computers, Privacy and Data Protection, CPDP, held in Brussels in
January 2019. The book explores the following topics: dataset
nutrition labels, lifelogging and privacy by design, data
protection iconography, the substance and essence of the right to
data protection, public registers and data protection, modelling
and verification in data protection impact assessments, examination
scripts and data protection law in Cameroon, the protection of
children's digital rights in the GDPR, the concept of the scope of
risk in the GDPR and the ePrivacy Regulation. This
interdisciplinary book has been written at a time when the scale
and impact of data processing on society - not only on individuals,
but also on social systems - is becoming ever starker. It discusses
open issues as well as daring and prospective approaches, and will
serve as an insightful resource for readers with an interest in
computers, privacy and data protection.
Cracking open the politics of transparency and secrecy In an era of
open data and ubiquitous dataveillance, what does it mean to
"share"? This book argues that we are all "shareveillant" subjects,
called upon to be transparent and render data open at the same time
as the security state invests in practices to keep data closed.
Drawing on Jacques Ranciere's "distribution of the sensible," Clare
Birchall reimagines sharing in terms of a collective political
relationality beyond the veillant expectations of the state.
