[Sigdl-l] COASIST: Library Freedom Project Workshop/Webinar

[DRESSLER, Virginia]

Hello SIGDL-

Upcoming webinar that may be of interest::::


Please join us in an upcoming two part workshop. This event will be taking place in Columbus, Ohio at the Columbus Metropolitan Library (Main Library, Meeting Room 3A), or you could also join at Kent State University (Main Library, Room 334) which will have a live broadcast of the event. There is also an option to view as a live webinar as well.

CO-ASIS&T (Central Ohio Chapter, Association for Information Science and Technology) presents a special 2-part workshop with Alison Macrina of the Library Freedom Project, presenting strategies to librarians to protect patrons from online threats to privacy.

Alison Macrina is a librarian, privacy activist, and founder and director of the Library Freedom Project<http://asis.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0c06bfbaf68eda1e223463315&id=d59faf624a&e=414a834dc3>.  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.

Participation through either means is free to members of any ASIS&T chapter, and $20 for all others.  Please direct any questions to coasistweb at gmail.com<mailto:coasistweb at gmail.com>.
