As we try to shift to a privacy-centric culture in our libraries, it's vital that we build relationships with stakeholders like IT and administration to adopt privacy best practices. This week, we'll hear from Becky Yoose, Library Data Privacy Consultant at LDH consulting, on how to leverage relationships to get the support and resources for making privacy happen at your library. Becky will present on this topic, then address questions and experiences from our "working with IT/admin" thread on the messageboard.

Week 8: Analytics in libraries and the push for data to demonstrate value[edit]

Overview[edit]

There's an increased push for the use of data analytics in libraries to show usage statistics, improve collections, and track all kinds of patron activities. This comes with obvious risks to privacy, which aren't always considered when making the choice to use this data. Some analytics seem to happen for the explicit purpose of surveilling users, especially students. This week, we'll be joined by LFP members Megan Kinney, Marisol Moreno Ortiz, Katie Elson Anderson, and Andrea Puglisi, who are also all currently enrolled in the Prioritizing Privacy course, which teaches academic librarians about learning analytics and their privacy and ethical issues. Megan, Marisol, Katie, and Andrea will share with us what they're learning, as well as their direct experiences with analytics use in libraries.
