This 2 hour program is designed to introduce the NJ Library
confidentiality Law and discuss how this law is applied in our libraries.
Attendees are encouraged to bring examples of local policies and procedures and
join in the discussion about the real life situations that can make it difficult
to uphold this vital law. We will also discuss the USA PATRIOT Act and its
impact on requests for library records. Intended Audience: Frontline staff (including
clerks and paraprofessionals) who would like a clear understanding of
confidentiality and privacy issues and laws.
By the end of this workshop,
participants will be able to answer the following questions:
- What does the NJ Library Confidentiality Law say?
- What is a library record?
- What are the common instances where records might be requested?
- What impact does the USA PATRIOT Act have on the NJ Library Confidentiality Law?
- What is a FISA Court? National Security letter?
