Getting Grounded: Legal Issues Facing Libraries Offline in 2010

Legal issues on a variety of situations facing libraries on the ground, from privacy to censorship to meeting rooms, are constantly changing.

What is the current status of the Patriot Act and how does it affect your library? Is it time to refresh staff on how to respond to requests for patron records? Want an update on challenges to library materials and how the courts have weighed in? Is your meeting room and exhibit space policy legally viable?

Those attending the webinar will:

• Learn new case law critical to updating your meeting room policies
• Get an update on PATRIOT Act and how it affects your library
• Get items to consider when updating your privacy policy
• Learn about the latest challenges to library materials

This one-hour webinar will be of interest to library managers and those that plan to be managers.
