Overview

The goal of our trainings is to learn the building blocks of privacy protection and digital security. Our teachings focus on activities patrons do every day at the library so that library staff can develop the capacity to:

• identify how patrons’ data travels to and through library networks;
• assess which privacy and security risks patrons are most likely to encounter at the library; and,
• respond with appropriate steps that help patrons protect themselves against unnecessary data collection or unwanted access and use of data they share online.

By beginning with common patron experiences, the Data Privacy Project makes learning about privacy protections relevant to the everyday realities of libraries today.
