Session Descriptions


Privacy Research and Practice in Library and Information Science

Lisa Janicke Hinchliffe, Professor, University Library, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; Masooda Bashir, Associate Professor, School of Information Sciences, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; Kyle M.L. Jones, Associate Professor, Department of Library and Information Science,  School of Informatics and Computing, Indiana University-Indianapolis

Privacy is a fundamental professional value in library and information science. This session will highlight three current projects that look at how libraries are operationalizing and executing on their commitments: Privacy Protections in Public Libraries, Prioritizing Privacy: Data Ethics Training for Library Professionals, and Licensing Privacy: Academic Libraries and Third-Party Contracts. 


Protect Your Privacy Hands-on  

Isaac J. Galvan, Cindy McKendall

“Software Update Available.” That pending update is sure to change your favorite app or feature, and along with those changes come some important privacy-related settings. The Cybersecurity Training and Awareness Team has read the owner’s manual, taken a test drive, and we’re ready to show you the privacy settings you should know about. Bring your smartphone to a demonstration of lesser-known settings you and your loved ones can change now to better protect your privacy. We will also explore research and real-world cases showing why these privacy features and settings matter. 


How the University Protects Confidential Data Against Cybersecurity Threats 

Taylor Judd, Prabha Manda, Glen Shere

The university supports students, faculty, staff… and a power plant! The cybersecurity unit’s goal is to enable student success and research excellence by building and supporting the cybersecurity tools to keep this highly diverse university functioning. Learn about some of the people, processes, and products that help protect the university and all its uniqueness.


Sensitive Harms of Location Data 

Sara Geoghegan, Counsel at the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC)

Sara Geoghegan, Counsel at the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC), will discuss the unique harms posed from the collection and use of location data, both historically and in real time, because of what it may reveal. This may pose threats to privacy because of the inferences made by someone’s location, such as whether a person goes to an abortion clinic or attends an AA meeting. Bad actors, such as abusers or bounty hunters, may access location data (typically commercially sold for a nominal fee), which can pose significant harms to everyone. Moderated by Aaron Collie, Manager, Privacy Engineering, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign


Big 10 Privacy Panel

Big Ten Professionals

Privacy professionals from around the Big 10 will discuss our various privacy programs and how we implement privacy principles at our universities. We’ll touch on our available resources and strategies we have used for expanding a culture of privacy awareness, plus where we’re all headed. Audience participation is encouraged. This session will be on Zoom and broadcast live at Beckman.

What is China’s Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL) and Why You Should Care
