NISO Patron Privacy Project
Live-Stream Invitation: Monday, June 29 - Tuesday, June 30, 2015
The Firehouse at the Fort Mason Center
San Francisco, CA

The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation has awarded the National Information
Standards Organization a grant to develop a Consensus Framework to
Support Patron Privacy in Digital Library and Information Systems. The
grant 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.

Each of the discussion sessions are three-hour web-based session
designed to lay the groundwork for a productive in-person meeting at
the conclusion of the American Library Association meeting in San
Francisco, CA on Monday and Tuesday, June 29-30, 2015.

FREE LIVE-STREAM AVAILABLE: For those interested in this work, NISO
will be live-streaming the day and a half in-person event. Credentials
for login will be provided closer to the event date; please make sure
to designate your attendance as "virtual" in the RSVP form so that we
may be sure to communicate that information to you. For planning
purposes, please RSVP by Thursday, June 25.

Following the in-person meeting, a Framework document will be
completed detailing the privacy principles and recommendations agreed
to by the participants, and then circulated for public comment and
finalization. More information, including a version of the project
proposal and virtual meeting output, is available on the NISO website
at: http://www.niso.org/topics/tl/patron_privacy/

Thank you for your interest in this important topic that faces the
library and information communities!
