In the library with the Data Protection Act (Privacy skills part 2)

Date & Time Tuesday 16th November, 12:30-2:00pm

As library and information staff, we make a commitment to "uphold, promote and defend: [...] the confidentiality of information provided by clients or users and the right of all individuals to privacy" (from: CILIP Ethics). Protecting users' right to privacy usually translates into matters of data protection, but not solely.

In this webinar, we will discuss:

• the main requirements of the UK GDPR;
• reviewing your data collection and data retention practices;
• informing citizens about what we do with their data;
• working with library software and resources suppliers;
• offering privacy literacy classes and privacy-friendly tools.

This webinar will not be recorded.

Cost: free for CILIP members; £25 for non-members
