From: "Macklin, Lisa" <[log in to unmask]> Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2015 17:36:04 +0000 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 Lisa A.

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!
