[Irtalk] What Every Librarian Needs to Know About HTTPS | Electronic Frontier Foundation

[Hilton Gibson]

Libraries have a crucial role in preserving access to information. That
role is not changing, but the challenges of preserving that access are
constantly changing. *New services combined with widespread Internet spying
mean that librarians need to be savvy about the new threats to their
patrons' privacy and take steps to maintain that privacy*, whether patrons
are reserving books from home or browsing the Internet on library-provided
computers. It will take a lot of work, but EFF is confident that the
library community is up to the task.
