Privacy & Confidentiality
ALA has said that they recommend... "...that each library adopt a policy that specifically recognizes the confidentiality of information sought or received, and materials consulted borrowed or acquired by a library user.These materials may include database search records, circulation records, interlibrary loan records and other personally identifiable uses of library materials, facilities, programs or services, such as reference interviews. Libraries are advised to rely on existing laws to control behavior that involves public safety or criminal behavior." Utilize the documents and discussion in this area to help you be prepared to protect the privacy and confidentiality of your patrons.
