[Asis-l] Free Live-Stream Invitation: NISO Patron Privacy Project

[NISO Announce]

*NISO Patron Privacy Project *
*Live-Stream Invitation: Monday, June 29 - Tuesday, June 30, 2015  *
*The Firehouse at the Fort Mason Center* <http://www.fortmason.org/>
*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
<https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/XXGW8TF> 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:

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