Defending library users' rights to privately read, watch, and learn anything they want is harder to assure now than it ever has been. Newman, Tijerina, and this expert group of authors unpack the complexities of the situation and make it easy to understand. Protecting Patron Privacy is an excellent resource that will help you make the right decisions to protect users at your library. -- Nate Hill, Executive Director, Metropolitan New York Library Council Protecting Patron Privacy is well-versed in history and law, grounded in theory, immersed in the lively practitioner moment. With their eyes on the horizon, the authors in this volume tackle one of librarianship's most urgent emerging issues. -- James LaRue, director, American Library Association Office for Intellectual Freedom and the Freedom to Read Foundation Understanding that privacy is both an essential right in a free society and a fundamental value within our profession, Newman and Tijerina have wisely framed this LITA Guide to consider both how libraries can promote privacy to the public through education and programming and how our own practices can protect the privacy of our users. As libraries and communities change - ebooks and digital resources, mobile devices and wearables, algorithms, smart city initiatives, the internet of things - Protecting Patron Privacy offers invaluable advice and guidance to help all of us confront current and future challenges in ways that benefit our patrons and sustain our core values. -- Miguel Figueroa, ALA's Center for the Future of Libraries
