Description

Privacy is a long-held value of libraries. Today’s networked technologies present new challenges for achieving privacy. Google Analytics offers an instructive use case. This leading third-party analytics tracker is widely implemented on library websites, yet its configuration settings and potential privacy incursions are not widely understood by librarians or library users. How can we realize our values and achieve privacy in the age of analytics? This webinar will provide an overview of the main issues associated with this question. We will discuss ethical and strategic approaches for implementing analytics practices with a view towards privacy, including key technical and social aspects, software configurations, staff skills, and partners for enhancing privacy on the web. Presenters will conclude by facilitating a group discussion based around privacy practices and challenges.  

This webinar will be of interest to library administrators, digital and systems librarians, public services and teaching librarians, and everyone who seeks a more private web.

These webinars are exclusively for OCLC Research Library Partners, but the recordings are publicly available to all.

Works in Progress: An OCLC Research Occasional Webinar Series to talk about work happening in OCLC Research – we'd like to present our work informally and get feedback from you, our Partners. We'd also like this to be a venue for Partner institutions. What are you working on that everyone should know about? What input would help you move forward? Let us know!
