Welcome to IOU Digital Library

This book examines privacy issues affecting patrons and users in public, school, and academic libraries, particularly in light of evolving technologies, online access, and legal changes. It discusses how new laws (such as those enacted under the USA PATRIOT Act) impact individual privacy in library contexts, evaluates the challenges to confidentiality posed by digital resources and internet use, and offers practical tools — including sample privacy and confidentiality policies, privacy‑audit outlines, and guidance for staff training. The volume aims to serve as a comprehensive handbook for librarians and library administrators to navigate privacy and confidentiality concerns in the modern, networked library environment.
