Project Overview

The Pacific Library Partnership received an LSTA grant in FY 2019/2020 to create the Data Privacy Best Practices Training for Libraries project. This project aimed to develop California specific training for libraries on privacy-related topics surrounding library data privacy and digital safety, including privacy policy and procedure best practices, tips for library staff for working with vendors in sharing patron data, and an overview of the data privacy lifecycle in libraries. In FY 2020/21 a second round of funding was awarded to expand the project to include cybersecurity and develop a train-the-trainer model for library data privacy and cybersecurity best practices.

This Data Privacy and Cyberesecurity Training for Libraries project is a collaborative effort between PLP member libraries and consultants from LDH Consulting and Lyrasis. The project toolkit includes content from other organizations who have invested time and energy in curating content regarding data privacy best practices. You can access the digital version of the data privacy toolkit below, as well as the training resources that have been developed so far as part this project, and related upcoming events.
