Subject: Library Privacy Field Guides available for interested libraries

Are you interested in how you can make small changes in your library to improve user privacy? IMLS funded the creation of the Library Privacy Field Guides<https://www.ala.org/advocacy/privacy/fieldguides> so that libraries of all types and sizes can follow easy-to-use guides to make changes in their libraries in support of user privacy. These guides are now complete and the creators would like to send physical copies to any rural and tribal libraries who are interested! All you need to do is fill out this form<https://aclibrary.libwizard.com/f/fieldguides> and we will ship them to you.


There are seven guides covering a variety of important topics.
1.       How To Talk About Privacy covers privacy talking points, creating an elevator speech, and how to build a persuasive argument

2.       Non-Tech Privacy looks at space design, user surveillance, information printed on paper, and self-service options.

3.       Digital Security Basics walks through creating strong passwords and phrases, multi-factor authentication, phishing, and the importance of staff and user training.

4.       Data Lifecycles introduces readers to each area of the user data lifecycle and gives tips and exercises to learn more about what your library may be doing.

5.       Privacy Policies introduces the read to privacy policies, how to read one and how to write one for a library.

6.       Privacy Audits helps libraries ensure their procedures are in line with their promises of privacy and confidentiality by offering an audit framework and providing resources to perform the audit and tell the audit story.

7.       Vendors and Privacy helps the reader evaluate vendor privacy and understand who in their organization controls decisions to buy and negotiate with vendors.
You can learn more about the project on the IMLS blog<https://www.imls.gov/blog/2021/09/easy-use-privacy-guides-libraries>. We hope they are useful for you!
