Copyright laws can affect privacy, especially with regards to digital<\/a> and social media<\/a>. This information originally came from a post of mine<\/a> (originally posted 2 November\u00a02015) from INFO 287: Hyperlinked Library, where the present and future of libraries must consider the privacy of library users.

\nPrivacy is part of the user experience. How we learn and adjust our privacy (and security) preferences should be a sensible, user-centric process \u2014 not something obfuscated.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Articles<\/h2>\n

Not articles so much as a webseries<\/strong>: Jay Smooth presents 12 weeks of videos discussing media literacy<\/a> (2018), on the Green Brothers Crash Course YouTube channel.<\/p>\n

“Digital Privacy at the U.S. Border: Protecting the Data on Your Devices and in the Cloud<\/a>,” (Cope, Kalia, Schoen, & Schwartz, March 2017), the latest version of EFF’s guide for maintaining digital privacy while traveling. Also available as a PDF<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Protecting Patron Privacy<\/a>,” (A. Macrina, July 2016) a helpful outline published in Library Journal<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Not articles, but instead conference recordings<\/a>\u00a0[YouTube]\u00a0from Library 2.016, Privacy in the Digital Age<\/a> (March 2016). Library 2.0 periodically presents online (generally free) conferences for library and information professionals.<\/p>\n

The Wirecutter<\/em>\u00a0provides privacy policy details for smart TVs, Blu-ray players, and media streaming services \u2014 because what you watch is likely being tracked: “Your Privacy, Your Devices, and You<\/a>“(December 2015) .<\/p>\n

Ian Clark (2016) wrote a thought-provoking article on privacy and surveillance in the Journal of Radical Librarianship<\/em>, “The Digital Divide in the Post-Snowden Era<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Lisa Peet’s recent article make good points and offers resources on intellectual privacy, which I’ve added to in the Organizations<\/strong> section: “Always Watched<\/a>” (November 2015).<\/p>\n

The A List Apart<\/em> article by Alex Schmidt, \u201cPrivacy is UX<\/a>\u201d (September 2015), is relevant. Schmidt focuses on privacy in web development, but I think the topic applies to libraries and information literacy quite well.<\/p>\n

The Librarian in Black<\/em>, Sarah Houghton, encourages us to “Take the Library Digital Privacy Pledge<\/a>” (September 2015), a recent Library Freedom Project<\/a> that advocates secure, encrypted (https<\/code>) online connections at libraries.<\/p>\n

Donna Young’s “A 21st-entury model for teaching digital citizenship<\/a>” (February-March 2014) promotes a semester long curriculum at the 5th grade level that covers privacy, online responsibility and rights, and social media use.<\/p>\n

David Cirella’s “Beyond traditional literacy instruction: toward an account-based literacy training curriculum in libraries<\/a>” (December 2012) focuses on account-based literacy, which advocates personalization of what I call privacy curation<\/em>.<\/p>\n

And here’s an insightful article by Julia Angwin: “Has privacy become a luxury?<\/a>” (March 2014).<\/p>\n

Social media settings<\/h2>\n

This is a short list, and some of the links point to documentation, which might not always offer clear instructions or a direct means to change preferences. Unless otherwise specified, the date on these links are n.d.<\/em>, i.e., retrieved right before I published this post. In addition, you\u00a0might need to login to view and set these preferences.<\/p>\n

I’d love to add resources for this section! For instance, I couldn’t find a comprehensive guide for Tumblr regarding privacy settings.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Facebook<\/strong>: Privacy basics<\/a> documentation<\/p>\n

Flickr<\/strong>: Privacy & permissions for your account<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Google<\/strong>: Know your Google security and privacy tools<\/a><\/p>\n

Instagram<\/strong>: Privacy, security, and safety documentation<\/a><\/p>\n

Pinterest<\/strong>: Help documentation\u00a0on account security<\/a>, changing account privacy<\/a> settings,\u00a0and their legal and privacy center<\/a><\/p>\n

Snapchat<\/strong>: Help on changing privacy settings<\/a><\/p>\n

Twitter<\/strong>: Account settings help<\/a>, with privacy info is in the sidebar; conduct and reporting policies<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Organizations<\/h2>\n

Data Privacy Project<\/a> aims to “inform and support libraries and librarians” regarding privacy issues.<\/p>\n

Electronic Privacy Information Center<\/a> (EPIC) is one of the oldest non-profits that advocates Internet and technological privacy rights. They work on many hot-topic issues<\/a>.<\/p>\n
