Privacy is a core value of librarianship and yet as a concept, it
is difficult to define and in practice, a challenge to uphold. This
groundbreaking new book considers how privacy issues can arise in a
library context and what library and information professionals can
do to protect the privacy of their users. A Practical Guide to
Privacy in Libraries features a wide range of practical examples of
such issues, providing insights and practical steps which readers
can follow. In-depth case studies and scenarios support the
examples laid out in the book, while examples of data breaches
which have occurred in a library setting, and the lessons we can
learn from them, are also included. The book also covers the main
legislation governing data protection - GDPR - which will be
particularly relevant to European librarians, and international
librarians offering services to EU citizens. The book provides a
range of tools through which libraries can communicate how they
handle the personal data of their users whilst ensuring that they
are following best practice with their privacy policy statements,
their privacy audits and data protection impact assessments.
Privacy is not the same thing as data protection, and the book
outlines the differences between these two concepts. Nevertheless,
the book has been written with the requirements of data protection
law very much in mind. Written in a highly practical manner, this
book is essential reading for library and information professionals
who need to understand and support privacy in the library setting
and a useful reference for students and researchers in the field
who need to understand this topic in practice.
