Simmons College School of Library and Information Science is happy to welcome Frederick S. Lane as the 2018 Allen Smith Scholar! As a part of his visit, he will be moderating two panel events, one of which is the following:

Cybertraps for Librarians
Friday, March 16, 2018; 2 – 5 PM
Linda K. Paresky Conference Center, Main College Building, Third Floor

RSVP at: https://cybertrapsforlibrarians.eventbrite.com

This session will examine the topic of privacy, surveillance, and cybersecurity. What are the biggest threats to online and data safety for libraries and their communities? What can librarians do to keep their own and their patrons’ data safe, and how can we help our communities to learn more?  An expert panel session will be followed by a longer address and Q&A with Fred.

Panelists for the Friday session include Kade Crockford of the ACLU; Jessamyn West, a noted technologist and librarian; SLIS alum and Director of Technology at Brookline Public Library Callan Bignoli; and SLIS Alum and Reference Librarian at Bentley University Matthew van Sleet.

Light refreshments will be served.

This event will  be recorded and made available online.
