Re: [Michlib-l] Question re: patron privacy within the library building - no results
by Kirk Nims 22 Apr '15

22 Apr '15

In corporate libraries, people use the library as a productivity tool. They come to avoid meetings, phones, and cubical noise, and drop in visitors. So NO we never let callers know if J Doe is in the library unless we are explicitly told to do so by J. Doe. Kirk Nims 248 797 8512 cell 248 430 4964 home 734 214 4434 work --- Original Message --- From: "Teresa Stannard" <teresa(a)parchmentlibrary.org> Sent: April 22, 2015 4:12 PM To: michlib-l(a)mcls.org Subject: [Michlib-l] Question re: patron privacy within the library building - no results Last week I posted a question to Michlib, asking how libraries respond to callers who want to know if a certain person is in the building. I received many requests to share the results of my post from librarians who had the same question! I received just one response, from a university library, whose librarians tell the caller that the library does not provide a messaging or paging service. I didn't hear from any libraries who had inserted language governing the privacy of patrons who are using the facility into their patron privacy policy. -- Teresa Stannard, Library Director Parchment Community Library 401 S Riverview Dr. Parchment, MI 49004 Ph. 269.343.7747 x203 Fax 269.343.7749 Library Hours: M-Th 10-8; F 10-6; Sat 10-4 Teresa Stannard, Director Parchment Community Library 401 S Riverview Dr. Parchment, MI 49004 Ph. 269.343.7747 x203 Fax 269.343.7749 www.parchmentlibrary.org _______________________________________________ Michlib-l mailing list Michlib-l(a)mcls.org http://mail2.mcls.org/mailman/listinfo/michlib-l
