The UWM School of Information Studies and UWM Libraries have joined together to provide a venue for local librarians, information professionals, and patrons to discuss the emerging privacy and ethical challenges for libraries in the new “2.0” era. Topics to be discussed include: - What innovative online tools and services are libraries bringing to users, and what are the potential impacts on patron privacy? - Are there privacy considerations for providing or controlling access to digital collections? - How do current laws &#38; policies protect patron privacy, and are any [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Are your employees blogging? Tweeting? Using FaceBook, LinkedIn, or BlogHer? Do you have any idea? If you don&#8217;t know, and your company or organization is large enough that you can&#8217;t call out &#8220;Hey? Are you using any of these things?&#8221; and get a verbal answer from everyone, then the answer is probably yes. And they might not be using it in a way that reflects well on their workplace. For example, the now-Internet-famous Lindsay and her former boss both used Facebook in a way that few employers would find acceptable. In that example, the boss clearly knew who was posting disparaging remarks about him and about the workplace. What if she&#8217;d been complaining anonymously? On Twitter, there is no identity verification, or even any particular motive for using a personally identifiable username. There, so many people complain that they hate their jobs that someone created a feed to capture all of the &#8220;I hate my job&#8221; tweets in real time. I tried to find anonymous complaints, but nearly all of them appeared to be either fully identifiable &#8212; first and last name &#8212; or partially identifiable &#8212; first name + profile photo or location. Some even named the employer! Still, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I believe that a lot of bad privacy decisions are made by well-intentioned people who don&#8217;t understand either how various technologies work, or who don&#8217;t understand the easiest, cheapest, and most effective way to protect people&#8217;s privacy is to limit the amount of data they collect and retain. The City of Bozeman, Montana, appears to be guilty of severe over-collection of information. For those persons who apply for and are conditionally offered jobs involving the public trust by for the City of Bozeman, they are required not to merely provide URLS for blogs and FaceBook or Twitter usernames, but also the passwords associated with those accounts. Here&#8217;s an interview with the Bozeman City Attorney Greg Sullivan explaining what they collect, from whom, and why. The Terms of Service for FaceBook specifically indicates, &#8220;You will not solicit login information or access an account belonging to someone else&#8221; and &#8220;You will not share your password, let anyone else access your account, or do anything else that might jeopardize the security of your account.&#8221; Violations of those terms have consequences from FaceBook: &#8220;If you violate the letter or spirit of this Statement, or otherwise create possible legal exposure for us, we can stop [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Washington Post&#8217;s Security Fix blog posts an abject horror story: Hackers last week broke into a Virginia state Web site used by pharmacists to track prescription drug abuse. They deleted records on more than 8 million patients and replaced the site&#8217;s homepage with a ransom note demanding $10 million for the return of the records&#8230;. (Courtesy of Wikileaks) Can you imagine? What would happen to your business if more than 8 million customer records were stolen by hackers? What if they were subsequently made public? Something similar happened last November to Express Scripts, a pharmacy benefit management company, which declined to pay the ransom for their customer data, but is offering a $1 million reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the Internet extortionists. That million dollars is no small loss, but it&#8217;s easy to imagine that Express Scripts losses go much further. While individual customers don&#8217;t choose which pharmacy benefit management company their employers or other benefit providers use, most Human Resources departments would think twice about extending a contract with a company who had such a huge security breach. Especially since those HR decisionmakers may have experienced personal privacy problems as a result of [...]]]></description>
