Providing access to public computers is one of the most important services that libraries provide. Patrons without internet access or personal computers are unable to access government services, apply for jobs, access information, and keep in touch with family and friends. Security is never absolute, but as librarians, we have a responsibility to provide this access in as secure as manner as possible. This includes ensuring that the part of the online experience that we control (the computer and the local area network) are as secure and protective of privacy as we can make them. This week, we'll learn about the basics of cybersecurity that all library workers should know, and then we'll talk about how to set up our public computer environments in more private and secure ways.

We'll also cover common anti-privacy arguments and ways to counter them.

Week 5: Talking about privacy

Overview

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. But the first step is learning the right kind of language to use to make convincing pro-privacy arguments. Part of making the case for privacy involves putting it in terms that the stakeholder cares about, for example, admin tends to respond well to ideas that fit within strategic planning directives; IT tends to be more in favor of making library infrastructures secure. We'll talk about different strategies that can be effective in convincing different stakeholder groups, helping them understand why privacy is so important, and why libraries are the right places to focus on privacy. We'll also cover common anti-privacy arguments and ways to counter them.
