We may not be going about it the right way, but education about privacy is important. If they choose to share the same stuff after being educated - that's their decision. But they probably haven't had to read 1984 or study McCarthyism. I don't care if someone is making a profit off of people who choose to share personal information. I do care if the government starts to monitor and regulate. I care if our "get with the times" attitude creates a society where this is considered acceptable. At this point I always feel the need to scream - honestly, I'm not a conspiracy theorist! But with all the monitoring that is being made legal lately and with the kind of hysteria we already know this country (and humanity in general) is capable of, I definitely believe education is incredibly important and cannot be assumed.

Both David Lenkes and Caleb Tucker-Raymond raised the question in their respective ways, David questioning librarian passion about the issue, and Caleb on providing patrons options to regulate their personal information in more sophisticated ways. I think a few people are coming to realize that the necessity to safeguard patron privacy should involve the patron's consent. And that arguing with millennials about "what is good for them" is just hitting your head against a wall. That question about privacy came up a couple times during sessions I attended at ALA.

That is so true! “It used to be that you were famous for 15 minutes, now you’re famous for 15 people.”

That is so true!

Those are vital to identifying the right course book on reserve, especially when several different instructors teaching several different variations of WR 115 use several different kinds of assigned reading - at three campuses and satellite locations. I've had more than one student taking a class at one campus assume that the other campus library would have their course reserve.
