Our libraries have the following statement at each circ desk: The University of Louisville Libraries make reasonable efforts to maintain the privacy of recrods concerning materials borrowed from the library collections. However, law enforcement agencies may direct the university to release user information relating to identified and specific enforcement activities under a search warrant or subpoena In some instances, library staff cannot inform you that the library has received such an order to produce that user information.

It listed my options regarding how and when my information can be used including court orders and notification of when my information has a been given out. Privacy notices are now every where I look. They are on websites and contest entry forms and bank statements and this got me to thinking. Aren't we as responsible for informing our customers as other businesses are in terms of privacy? When you sign up a new member to use your library do you give them a privacy policy? Does the policy include: how long you retain check out information after the item has been turned in? provisions in the Patriot Act that allow the government to seize records? who may look at the patron's records and under what conditions? how the server/hard drive encrypted to protect against against hackers? In the past this wasn't much of an issue because we saw patron privacy as their right but now it is too easy for information to be circulated without a person's knowledge. Aren't we responsible for informing our patrons of how we use the information that is collected about them and how that information might be used in the future?
