Privacy Literacy Road Trip: From Finding Your Why to Finding Your Way

Adventure is calling! From AI to Zotero, privacy literacy is the new frontier of library instruction. Chart your own course for your privacy literacy teaching practice in this interactive workshop. We will discover the ethical foundations of privacy work, discuss the state-of-the-art in privacy literacy teaching, and develop our own privacy literacy teaching philosophies and program plans. Join facilitators Alexandria Chisholm and Sarah Hartman-Caverly to explore the possibilities of privacy literacy work, from “finding your why” to “finding your way.”

During this workshop, participants will:

  • Reflect on their instructional priorities in order to articulate a philosophy of privacy literacy work grounded in ethics and pedagogy best practices
  • Explore teaching and learning materials in order to situate their privacy literacy practice in the broader landscape of library instruction
  • Identify topics and resources in order to develop an implementation-ready privacy literacy program and/or lesson plan
  • Act on their professional values in order to advocate for their privacy literacy teaching practice
