Network Building & Tools

Making it easier for all libraries to set up secure digital services and for librarians to help patrons better understand online privacy issues through a technical support network, software and documentation toolkits, and more.

 

Privacy Literacy Training

Teaching NYC librarians how information travels and is shared online, common risks encountered online by users and the importance of digital privacy and literacy.

 

Historical Overview

An interactive history of library technology, the laws and policies that have shaped libraries, and the role of the library in ensuring patron privacy.

 

Mapping Data Flows

Explaining how your information moves around the internet when sending email or web browsing highlight potential vulnerabilities.

Led by a team of tech experts, researchers, community activists, and librarians interested in the impact of technological advances on everyone, especially the most vulnerable populations in America, the Data Privacy Project is focused on data privacy literacy, tools, guides, and network building with tech experts to support libraries’ increasing role in empowering their communities in a digital world.

This project was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services and the Knight Foundation Prototype Fund.
