Alison will lead the pre-conference session *Digital Privacy Toolkit *on
April 20, 1 - 5 p.m.  This training will provide technology tools to help
subvert digital spying from government agencies, corporate data miners, and
criminal hackers.  These tools address issues including search tracking,
encryption, password protection, secure deletion of temporary files, secure
browsing, and online anonymity, and are appropriate for people at all
levels of technical ability. They can be installed on library computers or
taught to patrons in computer classes. Both public service and technology
staff will benefit from this training.


Alison will also lead a conference session *Bringing Digital Privacy
Education Into Your Library*, Friday, April 22 at 2:00 p.m.
