Webinar: In the Library with the Data Protection Act (Privacy Skills part 2)

We are delighted to welcome back Aude Charillon to lead our second webinar on Privacy Skills.

Date/time: Nov 16th 2021 - 12:30pm-2pm

Book your place now!

As library and information staff, we make a commitment to "uphold, promote and defend: [...] the confidentiality of information provided by clients or users and the right of all individuals to privacy" (from: CILIP Ethics). Protecting users' right to privacy usually translates into matters of data protection, but not solely.

In this webinar, we will discuss:

• the main requirements of the UK GDPR;
• reviewing your data collection and data retention practices;
• informing citizens about what we do with their data;
• working with library software and resources suppliers;
• offering privacy literacy classes and privacy-friendly tools.

This webinar will not be recorded.

Cost: free for CILIP members; £25 for non-member

Presenter: Aude Charillon
