Empowering Privacy Literacy Work in Libraries: Essentials for Teaching & Programming

Privacy is a topic of growing societal concern, and privacy harms often disproportionately impact members of marginalized communities. The ALA Library Bill of Rights calls on library workers to “advocate for, educate about, and protect people’s privacy.” This session, brought to you by the Pennsylvania Library Association’s Intellectual Freedom Committee, focuses on privacy literacy in libraries. Privacy is an integral part of intellectual freedom and a core value of librarianship. In a landscape of networked technologies that present increasing challenges to privacy, librarians are well-positioned to support their patrons in understanding and managing the role of personal information in the information ecosystem. Through privacy literacy practices, librarians can offer tools, information, and strategies to better navigate these technologies. This session features classroom-tested, evidence-based strategies for teaching privacy literacy to learners across the K-20 educational spectrum, including children and families, teens and YA, and college students. We also include research from public, school, and academic libraries to demonstrate how librarians can help young people learn to engage with technology, from schoolwork to online gaming, in socially appropriate and privacy-affirming ways. Presented for the Pennsylvania Library Association (PaLA) Annual Conference.
