While some chapters are decent (notably the RFID chapter, which covers issues that are more political than technical), the technical information is lacking and, in some cases, downright incorrect. At one point the author suggests that a slightly older computer in the library will slow down Internet access for newer computers on the network. There is a typo on the first half-page of text, in which the citation for a paper about the Patriot Act is dated from 2000, one year before the Patriot Act was tabled. ( )
Woodward’s book is well written and gives clear explanations of complicated topics ... What Every Librarian Should Know about Electronic Privacy is highly recommended for public and academic libraries, and strongly encouraged for library school curriculums.
Library computer users are often novices and may not be aware that even seemingly innocuous information supplied to Web sites can be mined by government agencies, unscrupulous businesses, and criminals. Even the donated computers that libraries accept and pass on to otherwcan reveal confidential information like social security numbers. The recent discovery that online service providers have been supplying vast quantities of data to government agencies without the public's knowledge dramatically brought this threat to light. This book will help you, as a librarian, understand the threats and pitfalls of electronic privacy and develop a solid plan to protect the privacy of your patrons.
