Perhaps someone who has been involved in the NISO Consensus Framework
to Support Privacy in Digital Library and Information Systems (see
http://www.niso.org/topics/tl/patron_privacy/)  would like to share
information on that project.  This Mellon funded project will "support
a series of community discussions on how libraries, publishers and
information systems providers can build better privacy protection into
their operations and the subsequent formulation of a framework
document on the privacy of patron data in these systems.”

Cheers,

Lisa

Dear Readers:  On Friday at the Charleston Conference, we were
privileged to hear a great panel (Gary Price, Bill Hannay, Lisa
Macklin) on the topic of privacy.  With luck, those who couldn't
attend may get to hear or read the presentations as a post-conference
service.

At the end of the session, during Q&A, the panel posed a question to
publishers and other information providers in the audience: is privacy
a concern for your organization?  Is it a priority?  Unfortunately,
nary a publisher spoke up:  either no publishers attended this plenary
session (Charleston is a meeting where lots of off-meeting networking
happens) or else this wasn't a question that could be answered
spontaneously.

So -- we bring it to you as readers of liblicense-l, where you've time to
think and formulate an answer.  Are privacy issues a priority for
information providers?   For all?  Mainly for those who create certain
types of materials or do certain types or marketing?  Are
organizational resources being devoted to this matter?  Do publishers
read the privacy policies of their library customers?  Are they
current on FERPA and other developments?  Are there areas that can be
addressed by publishers, vendors, librarians working together?

Speak up, so we can all benefit from additional thoughts!   Ann Okerson
