=== Library Privacy Policy Working Group ===
== Current Work in Progress ==
 
* Sample process framework being developed (Jen, Mack)
 
* Sample talking points (Alison)
 
* Establishing meeting schedule (Mark)
 
 
 
== Talking points ==
 
* Ethics/core values: Privacy is one of our core values, and is fundamental to so many of our other values like intellectual freedom and access. If we’re failing to consider privacy, we’re failing at the foundational principles of librarianship.
 
** Alison will be adding a few expanded points to each of these categories.
 
* Legal compliance: Many states require library record confidentiality by law, and good privacy policies can help us be compliant with the law.
 
* Data stewardship: Libraries have a lot of patron data, and a strong privacy policy can help us be good stewards of this data: understanding what we have, what we keep, for how long, what we’ll do in the event of a data breach, and so on.
 
* New services/software: A good privacy policy can help us evaluate potential new software and services.
 
* Policy for crisis management: A good privacy policy can help under stress, eg if we receive a data request from law enforcement.
 
* Policy into practice: Policy creation is an opportunity to reflect on practice, and perhaps a good time to conduct a privacy audit of all library services and systems.
 
* Staff training: Privacy policy enforcement can be made easier if staff are regularly trained on library values.
 
* Patrons: Privacy policies should cover all library services and systems, but also be simple and readable so that patrons and staff can easily understand them.
 
* IT talking point (security focused)
 
* General privacy talking point

*** JEN WILSON: What are the first steps at your institution so we can build a listing of potential pathways? Creating a basic framework with potential holes and marking potential pain points
