| Before 10 am
| Wherever you want, see ideas on the main meeting page
| There will be a light continental breakfast (fruit and pastries, juice, coffee) at the hotel meeting space starting early, like 8 am. But if you want a more substantial breakfast (and honestly the coffee will probably be not great) you should get that on your own. Lots of great coffee shops nearby, some on the wiki! Alison will be at the meeting space around 9 or so. Come early if you want to hang out! I might also need a little help!

| 10 - 11 am

|-
| 12 - 12:45 pm
| Hotel meeting room
| Future of LFP: sticky note activity charette. In this session, we'll each get a small stack of colored sticky notes. The facilitators will ask a series of questions like "what are our most pressing issues as an organization?", "what are we doing well that we should keep doing?", "what resources do we need?". For each question, everyone writes down as many responses as they want on their sticky notes, and we then stick them to the wall together under each question. Then after the break, we'll take 10 or 15 of the tiny colored stickers, and then everyone "votes" putting those tiny stickers on the sticky notes that we agree with/think are most important. Then we will talk about those things that got a lot of votes, and use them to guide other discussions and sessions during the weekend.

* Real time lecture: Friday June 21 2-4PM Eastern / 11-1PM Pacific on Zoom: https://zoom.us/j/9129428892

==== Overview ====
This month we'll discuss threat modeling. We will also talk about library privacy policies and how our practices can often be at odds with them, the data lifecycle in libraries, and library vendors and their various discontents. We'll talk about expectations of convenience from library patrons, and how that conflicts with privacy goals. We'll also be assigning small groups this month.

==== Learning objectives ====
* Learn about threat modeling
* Begin learning about privacy best practices
* Learn about the data lifecycle in libraries
* Learn best practices for library privacy policies
* Learn about library vendors and their issues

* What challenges might you face trying to update your library's policy to meet best practices? Implementation? Enforcement? Making the policy a priority at all?
* How do we communicate to patrons about how we collect and use their data? How are we transparent when these practices are not great? How are we communicating abut vendor practices?
* What should you look for in a vendor agreement, privacy policy, or terms of service?

Tesskwilson: /* Discussion */

=== Month 3: Privacy in the Library 2 ===
* Real time lecture: Friday July 19 at 2:00-4:00 Eastern / 11:00-1:00 Pacific on Zoom

==== Overview ====

This month, we'll dig deeper into privacy best practices and explore how we talk about privacy in an accessible and personal way. We will talk about gaps in technical literacies and how we as library workers can bridge those gaps with patron and staff trainings, policy reviews and audits, and more.

==== Readings ====

No readings for this month. Instead, answer the discussion questions in Discord.

==== Guest lecturer ====

==== Discussion ====

Threat modeling framework:
* Assets: What do you want to protect?
* Adversaries: Who might want your assets?
* Capabilities: What can your adversary do?
* Consequences: What could happen if your adversary succeeds? What is the likelihood of this happening?

Threat Modeling Discussion Questions: What resonated about the threat modeling framework? How can you picture using this in a library environment? Are there threat models/personas that feel particularly relevant to your work?

Privacy Policies Discussion Questions: How does your library privacy policy measure up to the best practices discussed in month 2? Does your policy match the library's practices? Does it address the data lifecycle in libraries? If not, what needs to change for these conditions to be met?

Vendor Issues Discussion Questions: What resonated about the vendor discussion, and our conversation with Sarah Lamdan? What vendor issues are you most concerned about? What do you think about the advocacy and reform efforts that have taken place in libraries? What still needs to happen? What would need to shift to create real vendor accountability and change? What power do we currently hold to make this change, and what power do we need to build?

LFI Course Materials 4/Week one

Tesskwilson: /* Week 1: Introduction */

=== Week 1: Introduction ===
* Real time lecture: Friday May 17, 2-4PM Eastern / 11-1PM Pacific on Zoom: https://zoom.us/j/9129428892

* Welcome everyone! We’re so thrilled to be starting Library Freedom Institute with such an excellent cohort! This month, we’ll be getting acquainted with the course, including curriculum, technology, goals, and each other.

==== Course overview ====
===== Course themes =====
* Surveillance capitalism: politics, ideology, and money behind technologies
* Privacy and intellectual freedom with a justice-based approach, not just a rights-based approach
* Privacy strategies and tools with a harm reduction lens
* Individual vs collective action

===== LFP background =====
* Tess intro
* Alison intro
* Brief LFP history
* How LFI came about
* What to expect

===== Syllabus and weekly layout =====
* Undergo intensive training (6 months, 1-2 hours/week)
* Monthly commitments: lecture, discussion, readings, tasks, small group work.
* Schedule overview: https://libraryfreedom.wiki/html/public_html/index.php/LFI_Course_Materials_4#Schedule_overview
* Monthly meetings are a mix of lecture and discussion, so please be ready to participate each week!
* Tasks and discussions are things you’re expected to complete every month. There aren’t other assignments except for the final projects you’ll present either alone or with your small group. We’ll check in halfway through about the status of those projects, and when that happens you can share drafts or just outlines or thoughts.
* Let Tess know if you need to be absent from one of the real-time lectures for any reason.
* Review [https://libraryfreedom.wiki/html/public_html/index.php/LFI_Course_Materials/Code_of_Conduct code of conduct].

===== Class technology =====
* Discord channel for discussion (LFI participants will be given a link)
* Zoom video/audio chat/recordings (Zoom meeting ID 912-942-8892)
* Riseup mailing list: library-freedom-institute@lists.riseup.net
* Wiki: libraryfreedom.wiki (register an account)
* Vimeo archive of lectures: https://vimeo.com/libraryfreedominstitute
Please note that all class technology (with the exception of Discord) is publicly accessible! That means that the mailing list archives and wiki can all be viewed by others. We’ve set it up this way so that the materials we create can easily be shared.

===== Outcomes for this cohort =====
* Learn to use privacy software that can be installed on patron machines or library workstations.
* Teach your own train-the-trainer workshops to other librarians in your region.
* Approach members of your community regarding privacy concerns and teach privacy-related community workshops.
* Use your new role as a Privacy Advocate to influence policy and infrastructure.
* Encourage community engagement with privacy policy issues.
* Work with your small group to develop a privacy plan that can be implemented in your library or others.

===== Final projects =====
The final project will be a comprehensive privacy plan for a library. Every group will work together on components of the final project. This final project should choose from and expand on the following components:
* A library privacy policy and/or example vendor agreement
* A privacy class
* A privacy program that isn't a class
* A display about privacy
* A flyer or poster about a privacy concept
* A staff training
* Something focused on privacy work outside of the library walls, like a letter to a legislator
* Other ideas that the group wishes to add can be submitted when the group submits their roles, or can be added later

Your final project should be practically-focused and should reflect your own interests! You can see examples of previous final projects on the [https://libraryfreedom.org/index.php/resources/ LFP website].

===== Small groups for final projects (TBD) =====
* Small group work proved to be really difficult in the third cohort because of the pandemic. Let's discuss how we want to organize our final projects, whether small groups might work for some of us and some other method might work for the rest.

=== This week only! ===
===== Readings =====
* [https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/130cO0UjBaYo_RSPCDQ3_I75VxIwZ--ys?usp=drive_link/ The Surveillant Assemblage, Kevin D. Haggerty and Richard V. Ericson (2000)]

=== Week 2: Privacy in the Library Pt. 2 ===
* Real time lecture: June 21 2:00PM Eastern / 11:00AM Pacific

==== Overview ====
This week we'll cover some of the building blocks of privacy advocacy: threat modeling, and learning basic privacy strategies and tools. Threat modeling is a method for figuring out a privacy strategy that works for someone based on their unique needs. Alison will teach us how to threat model, and then we'll talk about some of the 101 level ways that anyone can protect their privacy. We'll close out the lecture with some resources for learning how to do basic privacy education.

==== Learning objectives ====
* Learn starting points for teaching privacy
* Learn about top privacy resources
* Learn about the importance of threat modeling and how to create a threat model

==== Readings ====
* Read EFF's threat modeling one-pager: https://www.eff.org/files/2015/11/24/3mod_threat-modeling-ssd_9-3-15.pdf
* Browse through Tactical Technology Collective's Data Detox Kit: https://datadetox.myshadow.org/en/home
* Browse through EFF's Surveillance Self-Defense: ssd.eff.org
* Browse through EFF's Security Education Companion: sec.eff.org

==== Guest lecturer ====
Guest Lecturer TBD

==== Discussion ====
* How can we use threat modeling in our everyday work?
* How could you get started teaching privacy in your library? If you're already teaching privacy, talk about the ways you're doing so.

==== Tasks ====
* Lecture, readings, discussion forum, and small group work
* Complete one day of the Data Detox Kit
* Schedule time with Alison to talk about questions and ideas for your small group projects

LFI Course Materials 4/Week one

2024-05-07T16:52:04Z

Tesskwilson: /* This week only! */

=== Week 1: Introduction ===
* Real time lecture: Friday May 17, 2-4PM Eastern / 12-2PM Pacific on Zoom: https://zoom.us/j/9129428892

* Welcome everyone! We’re so thrilled to be starting Library Freedom Institute with such an excellent cohort! This month, we’ll be getting acquainted with the course, including curriculum, technology, goals, and each other.

==== Course overview ====
===== Course themes =====
* Surveillance capitalism: politics, ideology, and money behind technologies
* Privacy and intellectual freedom with a justice-based approach, not just a rights-based approach
* Privacy strategies and tools with a harm reduction lens
* Individual vs collective action

===== LFP background =====
* Tess intro
* Alison intro
* Brief LFP history
* How LFI came about
* What to expect

===== Syllabus and weekly layout =====
* Undergo intensive training (6 months, 1-2 hours/week)
* Monthly commitments: lecture, discussion, readings, tasks, small group work.
* Schedule overview: https://libraryfreedom.wiki/html/public_html/index.php/LFI_Course_Materials_4#Schedule_overview
* Monthly meetings are a mix of lecture and discussion, so please be ready to participate each week!
* Tasks and discussions are things you’re expected to complete every month. There aren’t other assignments except for the final projects you’ll present either alone or with your small group. We’ll check in halfway through about the status of those projects, and when that happens you can share drafts or just outlines or thoughts.
* Let Tess know if you need to be absent from one of the real-time lectures for any reason.
* Review [https://libraryfreedom.wiki/html/public_html/index.php/LFI_Course_Materials/Code_of_Conduct code of conduct].

===== Class technology =====
* Discord channel for discussion (LFI participants will be given a link)
* Zoom video/audio chat/recordings (Zoom meeting ID 912-942-8892)
* Riseup mailing list: library-freedom-institute@lists.riseup.net
* Wiki: libraryfreedom.wiki (register an account)
* Vimeo archive of lectures: https://vimeo.com/libraryfreedominstitute
Please note that all class technology (with the exception of Discord) is publicly accessible! That means that the mailing list archives and wiki can all be viewed by others. We’ve set it up this way so that the materials we create can easily be shared.

===== Outcomes for this cohort =====
* Learn to use privacy software that can be installed on patron machines or library workstations.
* Teach your own train-the-trainer workshops to other librarians in your region.
* Approach members of your community regarding privacy concerns and teach privacy-related community workshops.
* Use your new role as a Privacy Advocate to influence policy and infrastructure.
* Encourage community engagement with privacy policy issues.
* Work with your small group to develop a privacy plan that can be implemented in your library or others.

===== Final projects =====
The final project will be a comprehensive privacy plan for a library. Every group will work together on components of the final project. This final project should choose from and expand on the following components:
* A library privacy policy and/or example vendor agreement
* A privacy class
* A privacy program that isn't a class
* A display about privacy
* A flyer or poster about a privacy concept
* A staff training
* Something focused on privacy work outside of the library walls, like a letter to a legislator
* Other ideas that the group wishes to add can be submitted when the group submits their roles, or can be added later

Your final project should be practically-focused and should reflect your own interests! You can see examples of previous final projects on the [https://libraryfreedom.org/index.php/resources/ LFP website].

===== Small groups for final projects (TBD) =====
* Small group work proved to be really difficult in the third cohort because of the pandemic. Let's discuss how we want to organize our final projects, whether small groups might work for some of us and some other method might work for the rest.

* Brief LFP history
* How LFI came about
* What to expect

===== Syllabus and weekly layout =====
* Undergo intensive training (6 months, 1-2 hours/week)
* Monthly commitments: lecture, discussion, readings, tasks, small group work.
* Schedule overview: https://libraryfreedom.wiki/html/public_html/index.php/LFI_Course_Materials_4#Schedule_overview
* Monthly meetings are a mix of lecture and discussion, so please be ready to participate each week!
* Tasks and discussions are things you’re expected to complete every month. There aren’t other assignments except for the final projects you’ll present either alone or with your small group. We’ll check in halfway through about the status of those projects, and when that happens you can share drafts or just outlines or thoughts.
* Let Tess know if you need to be absent from one of the real-time lectures for any reason.
* Review [https://libraryfreedom.wiki/html/public_html/index.php/LFI_Course_Materials/Code_of_Conduct code of conduct].

===== Class technology =====
* Discord channel for discussion (LFI participants will be given a link)
* Zoom video/audio chat/recordings (Zoom meeting ID 912-942-8892)
* Riseup mailing list: library-freedom-institute@lists.riseup.net
* Wiki: libraryfreedom.wiki (register an account)
* Vimeo archive of lectures: https://vimeo.com/libraryfreedominstitute
Please note that all class technology (with the exception of Discord) is publicly accessible! That means that the mailing list archives and wiki can all be viewed by others. We’ve set it up this way so that the materials we create can easily be shared.

===== Outcomes for this cohort =====
* Learn to use privacy software that can be installed on patron machines or library workstations.
* Teach your own train-the-trainer workshops to other librarians in your region.
* Approach members of your community regarding privacy concerns and teach privacy-related community workshops.
* Use your new role as a Privacy Advocate to influence policy and infrastructure.
* Encourage community engagement with privacy policy issues.
* Work with your small group to develop a privacy plan that can be implemented in your library or others.

===== Final projects =====
The final project will be a comprehensive privacy plan for a library. Every group will work together on components of the final project. This final project should choose from and expand on the following components:
* A library privacy policy and/or example vendor agreement
* A privacy class
* A privacy program that isn't a class
* A display about privacy
* A flyer or poster about a privacy concept
* A staff training
* Something focused on privacy work outside of the library walls, like a letter to a legislator
* Other ideas that the group wishes to add can be submitted when the group submits their roles, or can be added later

Your final project should be practically-focused and should reflect your own interests! You can see examples of previous final projects on the [https://libraryfreedom.org/index.php/resources/ LFP website].

===== Small groups for final projects (TBD) =====
* Small group work proved to be really difficult in the third cohort because of the pandemic. Let's discuss how we want to organize our final projects, whether small groups might work for some of us and some other method might work for the rest.

==== This week only! ====
===== Readings =====
We won't be discussing these readings until Month 2!

LINKS TO COME

===== Guest lecturer =====
No guest this week; Tess will lead the lecture

===== Discussion =====
* What do you think your focus or final project might be? (Note: You don't have to know precisely at this point!)

===== Tasks =====
* Lecture, readings and discussion forum on Discord
* Read through materials on libraryfreedom.wiki
* Start readings for Month 2

Tesskwilson:

Notes from Breakout Session: Community outreach encompassing participatory research and connecting with marginalized communities/populations

Community Outreach (Public Libraries)
* sponsored event tabling
* bringing books twice a month to seniors
* storytime weekly
* STEM engagement weekly
* emergency services bookmobile
* family-safe events
* list resources for community
* book station and staff presence at parades and public events
* tech support for communities/groups in need
* involvement in community gardens and food sustainability efforts
* books sent to correctional facilities

Community Outreach (Academic Libraries)
* participate in new student orientation
* highlight accessible study spaces
* showcase materials to public when relevant
* community can access databases/materials when present at library

Connecting with Marginalized Communities (Academic Libraries)
* liaisons with cultural centers on campus (can help with collections/research)
* streaming video
* enabling trust with loaned materials
* vetting vendors (sales of information and ethics)
* no fines
* language translation

Participatory Research
* include ambassadors from the community
* facilitate community space
* tabling at neighborhood meetings and community centers
* language ambassadors / translation for community

Notes from Breakout Session: Labor organizing
* Union reps can be good and bad; sometimes they can communicate tough issues in a good way
* Having a union rep in disciplinary meetings has been useful
* Labor organizing does not necessarily mean unionizing; it could mean 20 people pushing forward and back with colleagues and fixing problems together
* Having a union provides some legal protections
* Being adequately staffed versus calling the cops
* Reading groups with staff whose priority it is to have convos about "safety"
* Everyone-But-Managers Book Club
* Wages in Missouri ($12.50) versus Iowa ($16.00-17.00) versus Lawrence (~ $16.00)
* MLIS - you need one to get a job; to survive cost of living
* Asking "is this too much, is this going too hard?" because you are worried about pissing off admin

Des Moines Public Library Union:
* 2 staff (librarians and clerks)
* Unions meet together and bargain together
*Took lower raise for librarians to get higher wage for clerks

Academic Library Unions
* A lot of staff are on the same page about union meetings but hesitate to take action
* Contention exists within union organizing

Building power in the Midwest and Connecting to Library Values
* Building relationships with coworkers

SWOT Analysis Notes

Strengths
* Community connections
* Belongs to everyone
* Collaboration - libraries already have pre-existing networks for sharing ideas and strategies and are comfortable collaborating
* There is nothing else like us under the sun
* Free and indoors! Nothing is free anymore
* Means-tested
* Third space that is air-conditioned
* Dedicated staff at libraries
* We are fighting for a better world - diverse books, programming, etc. - every day against serious odds
* Becoming targets demonstrates our power
* We can and should step forward in these conversations/advocacies to write the futures of wages, privacy, vendor agreements, intellectual freedom
* Agility in smaller and more focused groups
* Digital connection and governance
* Partnerships with affinity groups like ACLU and Pen America
* The know-how and history of connecting people to information
* Growing activism in youth groups that are speaking out
* Widespread, nationwide, in almost every town
* Local library workers can be responsive to specific communities
* Community support - to and from
* State and national level professional organizations
* Trained staff, ongoing learning
* Attitude - many librarians care but lack practical tools and knowledge
* High public approval ratings
* Community reputation
* Community trust (at a time when that is rare)

Weaknesses
* Mental health crisis
* Understaffing restricts services and increases reliance on cops
* Limited alternatives to shitty vendors and service providers
* Right-wing extremist attacks
* Making ilbrarians personally liable for items in the collection
* They keep giving our money to cops and we don't have organized support
* "Children don't have rights"
* Public libraries have a hard time claiming their power - leveraging/changing policy, saying no
* Taxes - "taxpayers" and "parents"
* Accessibility - we can be hard to get to
* Not enough people in public libraries seeking leadership priorities
* Post-COVID habits lost
* Budget cuts
* Lack of a living wage, especially in largely rural states
* Leadership with inaccurate ideas of who we're here to serve
* Staff retention and burnout
* Compassion fatigue
* Conflict aversion
* Staff like marketing security without library ethics training - even circ staff
* Nonexistent onboarding and high staff turnover
* Having a policy isn't enough
* Finding revenue sources is difficult
* Funding
* State legislation (DEAI) funding
* Budget constraints to fight attacks
* Some places have lack of community buy-in
* Complete lack of public awareness outside of libraryland
* Misconceptions about libraries
* Both-sidesism as a form of "neutrality"
* Willful ignorance of targeted opposition
* Information literacy
* Neutrality versus serving public interest in a progressive way
* Very white field, especially in living-wage, decision-making positions
* (Useless) LIS degree dominance reinforces white middle classness
* Job creep, burnout, saviorism and white supremacy characteristics
* Tax/government/publicly funded
* Local staff can be isolated and limited in resources
* Obsession with neutrality while misunderstanding its legal meaning
* Money, time, and energy are spread too thin
* Old-fashioned values within libraries and coworkers
* Public perception of being obsolete
* All of our software options suck and make us look bad
* The thinking that we need to operate more like businesses
* Obsession with new tech without a critical eye
* Filling social services gaps without becoming radicalized about why these gaps exist
* Limited ability to advocate for ourselves due to perceived community position
* Very white and middle class profession
* Unprofessional profession
* Bystander syndrome
* Lack of clarity on the role and mission of libraries (privacy? access? social services? we are expected to provide all of these)
* Vocational pressure to save democracy
* Administration loves trends (wasteful, pulls staff in too many directions, kills usefulness)
* Spreading ourselves and our limited funding too thin filling in gaps in social services
* Vocational awe

Weaknesses
* A great equalizer
* Public buy-in, regulars caring about libraries and feeling ownership is an opportunity to draw on
* Other ways to think of safety
* Outreach - Libraries have the opportunity to establish trust with communities who may have greater privacy concerns and use that to leverage better policy
* Regulars can mean substantial relationships - if staff have time and energy
* Easy to say “from the library” to connect with partners
* Organizing mobilizing efforts from grassroots efforts
* People have concerns about Big Tech and AI - we can help educate
* Potential backlash to the increased privatization of life
* Crafting better stories
* Great experiences
* Loss of library levy (or other funds) creates space for more advocacy and community engagement
* COVID closures gave libraries a chance to revisit core services and community needs
* Professional connections and continuing education
* High trust from community (in most cases)
* Engaging with library students to make sure they have access to the resources they need to advocate and organize (radicalize them early)
* Build user base
* Seeking common ground among all groups
* Organize supporters
* Greater representation on staff, boards, etc. of traditionally under-represented groups
* Shifting cultural values - majority may be quiet but will often speak up when pushed
* Leveraging position in the community
* Libraries partnering with other groups - public health, social services, etc.
* Continuing to organize and mobilize people around IF challenges and book bans (both library workers and patrons)
* Coalition-building
* Connecting with marginalized communities
* Free/fourth space
* Hub for activism, diversity, inclusion
* Civil rights law conversations
* Organization - if systems are not in place they can be designed from scratch
* Libraries are for everyone
* We are (or could be) part of everyone’s abundance story

Threats
* Not committed to civil rights in the way we are to the first amendment
* Hate groups
* Anti-progressive movements taking advantage of a divided society - misinformation and distrust of public institutions
* Organized and well-funded opposition
* General public not fully aware of the danger we are in
* Our opposition is way more organized than we are
* Labor precarity
* Misinformation and disinformation around labor organizing
* Normative whiteness
* Enforcement of “unhelpful” (Iowa euphemism for racist) norms
* Too big to fail structures and monopolies
* Inward strife between organizations
* Political climate
* Commitment to policing patrons, refusal to be imaginative about safety
* Pre-existing trust - public implicitly trusts libraries that may be reckless with their data - this impacts outreach abilities and is an ethics threat
* Security - increased attacks on libraries are bridging more attention to library security and makes safety at the expense of privacy more appealing
* Marketing - libraries utilizing conventional marketing teams - may be employing people with few scruples about data
* LIS programs have shifted from “professors of practice” (actually working in libraries) to traditional adjuncts (not working in libraries)
* Cool Big New Idea of unstaffed libraries (can’t actually meet many needs)
* Uninformed legislation and legislators
* Policies/legislation
* Weak protection and policies
* Burnout x 2
* General lack of information seeking behaviors - how to start the conversation with patrons, community, etc.
* AI? (related to misinformation)
* It’s legal to bring concealed weapons into public buildings in Iowa
* Get caught in crossfire of polarization (because we’re a place for everyone)
* Nationalism and religious extremism
* Vocal minority
* Community events intended to spark controversial pushback from library (Brave Books Tour)
* IF challenges under the guise of “protecting children” (in libraries) or “stopping drugs” (in prisons)
* Book-banning and censorship
* Organized attacks like M4L, bomb threats, etc.
* Organized opposition to IF
* Negative/opposition groups
* Budget cuts
* Funding

* Greater representation on staff, boards, etc. of traditionally under-represented groups
* Shifting cultural values - majority may be quiet but will often speak up when pushed
* Leveraging position in the community
* Libraries partnering with other groups - public health, social services, etc.
* Continuing to organize and mobilize people around IF challenges and book bans (both library workers and patrons)
* Coalition-building
* Connecting with marginalized communities
* Free/fourth space
* Hub for activism, diversity, inclusion
* Civil rights law conversations
* Organization - if systems are not in place they can be designed from scratch
* Libraries are for everyone
* We are (or could be) part of everyone’s abundance story

Threats
* Not committed to civil rights in the way we are to the first amendment
* Hate groups
* Anti-progressive movements taking advantage of a divided society - misinformation and distrust of public institutions
* Organized and well-funded opposition
* General public not fully aware of the danger we are in
* Our opposition is way more organized than we are
* Labor precarity
* Misinformation and disinformation around labor organizing
* Normative whiteness
* Enforcement of “unhelpful” (Iowa euphemism for racist) norms
* Too big to fail structures and monopolies
* Inward strife between organizations
* Political climate
* Commitment to policing patrons, refusal to be imaginative about safety
* Pre-existing trust - public implicitly trusts libraries that may be reckless with their data - this impacts outreach abilities and is an ethics threat
* Security - increased attacks on libraries are bridging more attention to library security and makes safety at the expense of privacy more appealing
* Marketing - libraries utilizing conventional marketing teams - may be employing people with few scruples about data
* LIS programs have shifted from “professors of practice” (actually working in libraries) to traditional adjuncts (not working in libraries)
* Cool Big New Idea of unstaffed libraries (can’t actually meet many needs)
* Uninformed legislation and legislators
* Policies/legislation
* Weak protection and policies
* Burnout x 2
* General lack of information seeking behaviors - how to start the conversation with patrons, community, etc.
* AI? (related to misinformation)
* It’s legal to bring concealed weapons into public buildings in Iowa
* Get caught in crossfire of polarization (because we’re a place for everyone)
* Nationalism and religious extremism
* Vocal minority
* Community events intended to spark controversial pushback from library (Brave Books Tour)
* IF challenges under the guise of “protecting children” (in libraries) or “stopping drugs” (in prisons)
* Book-banning and censorship
* Organized attacks like M4L, bomb threats, etc.
* Organized opposition to IF
* Negative/opposition groups
* Budget cuts
* Funding
