With support from the City of New York Mayor’s Office of the Chief Technology Officer, this project ensures that NYC residents can rely on public libraries for their questions about internet privacy and security. Many New York City residents use digital technology nearly every waking hour of their day. From using email at work to browsing social media on the subway to streaming television shows at home, we are consistently providing Internet Service providers and myriad online entities with a wealth of data about us. This information can be utilized to influence our behavior, and, more pressingly, can be used against us in the event of, for example, a successful phishing attempt or a data breach. Working together, our project partners developed a series of seven online training modules that feature core concepts in data privacy and online security. These modules focus on interactions between library staff and their patrons, ensuring that residents receive up-to-date and timely information on these important issues. Phase 2 of this work is underway and will feature up-to-date training videos and curriculum for library workers to use in interfacing with members of the public.
