Privacy considerations for library and information professionals

This paper is based upon a session on privacy that was held during the inaugural NISO+ conference that was held February 23-25, 2020 in Baltimore, MD. It briefly describes the six types of privacy put forth by Daniel Solove in his book, Understanding Privacy, and the professional standards held by librarians to ensure that their patrons can access and consume information with little or no observation. It also offers some helpful suggestions for librarians to consider as they work to secure privacy and confidentiality. © 2020-IOS Press and the authors. All rights reserved.
