Part 1 begins at 10:00am. We will take a one-hour lunch break (not provided) at 12:00pm. Part 2 begins at 1:00pm. Participants may attend one or both sessions, but Part 2 will be a continuation of Part 1. Alison Macrina is a librarian, privacy activist, and founder and director of the Library Freedom Project. She will talk about surveillance threats, privacy rights and responsibilities, and technical tools to help patrons take back their digital privacy in the information age. Alison will cover issues of surveillance as they relate to library communities, how to deal with government information requests with resources from the ACLU, and privacy-protecting technologies that will help library patrons thwart data collection and keep their communications safe. A representative of ACLU Ohio (American Civil Liberties Union) will be participating in Part 1 in the morning. CO-ASIS&T is offering this workshop both in-person and as a live webinar. Participation is free to members of ASIS&T, and $20 for other attendees. Please direct any questions to coasistweb at gmail.com.

Chapter of the Year We are pleased to announce that the European Chapter is the 2016 winner of the ASIS&T regional Chapter of the Year Award. In selecting European Chapter for the award, the jury considered the chapter?s membership, activities, communications, financial and administrative management, and contributions to ASIS&T and the broader IS community. The Chapter takes advantage of the regional information science meetings to hold their own chapter meetings. Great focus on the 2016 ASIS&T Annual Meeting and the very important contributions to the success of the meeting dully noted. Also, recognizing the fact that the students are our future, such collaboration with and focus on student members is very important and essential to the success of ASIS&T. The chapter surveyed its members to understand members? needs and the jury members impressed with the honesty with which the leadership has identified the issues and is tackling the problems. Chapter Event of the Year The 2016 Chapter Event-of-the-Year Award goes to New Jersey ASIS&T for the first ASIS&T Regional Meeting held at Rutgers University on April 15: https://www.asist.org/events/asist-regional-meeting-2016-rutgers-university/. The nomination received high point with a theme of participant engagement. Reviewers noted the timeliness of the topic, diverse and well-known speakers, and opportunities for students and SIGs engagement. It was well-publicized and well attended, both face to face and virtual. As described by the nominator, this event brought together students chapters from Rutgers, Pratt, and Drexel together in working with the NJ Chapter, setting a good example of chapters could collaborate in mutually beneficial way. In addition to executing a highly successful program, this event created a milestone in ASIS&T and set an example of how ASIS&T could create value for its members at a local level. Chapter Member of the Year The award goes to Dr. Isabella Peters, whose outstanding service and leadership to the European Chapter (EC) has been identified by several members and officers. Dr. Peters has served as chair and advisor of the European Chapter, and has been a dedicated and active member of ASIST for many years.
