Episode 8
In this fourth and final episode of the Protecting Patron Privacy series, Bobbi Newman and Bonnie Tijerina, editors of Rowman & Littlefield’s Protecting Patron Privacy: A LITA Guide, wrap up their interview with Choice by talking about how libraries can actually implement forward-thinking privacy policies and guidelines for their patrons—from managing the sheer volume of procedural issues with a small staff to working with institutional administrators to develop “same-page” guidelines and protections.
