Library Freedom Project: Privacy crash courses
by Meghan McGowan 18 Jul '22

18 Jul '22

Hello fellow library workers! I took the systems & policy crash course in the spring and am looking forward to the programs & training course this fall - and this may be of interest to some of you! _________________________________________________________ Applications for the LFP Crash Course on Programs & Training are now open at https://libraryfreedom.org/crashcourse/. This 10-week free course focuses on privacy for library staff training and public programming in a supportive, collaborative cohort environment. The course will cover topics including how and what to teach in privacy trainings, and important areas of focus like anti-doxxing, digital security for reproductive care, health privacy, police surveillance, understanding artificial intelligence, and more. The LFP Crash Courses are open to library workers at all levels and in all roles, though this course is best for library workers who face the public. After completion, participants are invited to become part of the LFP community, a group of more than 130 library workers from around the country who work together and support each other on privacy initiatives. Some of our recent projects include - working with teens to make anti-surveillance memes, fighting library vendor surveillance of immigrants, building an anti-doxxing toolkit for at-risk library workers, and organizing LFP Camp, a space for our members to work together and connect in person in an outdoor environment. Previous curricula for the Programs and Training Crash Course is here: https://libraryfreedom.wiki/html/public_html/index.php/Main_Page/Crash_Cour… The LFP community and our training courses are unique in the library world, collaborative, and social-justice oriented. FAQ and more information is on the application website: https://libraryfreedom.org/crashcourse/. Additional questions about this course can be directed to alison(a)libraryfreedom.org. We hope you'll join us. -- Meghan McGowan she | they

Microsoft Has Released A Broadband Mapping Tool
by Williams, Barbara (MDE) 15 Jul '22

15 Jul '22

Hello all, For those of you interested, today, Microsoft released its own new interactive<https://app.powerbi.com/view?r=eyJrIjoiM2JmM2QxZjEtYWEzZi00MDI5LThlZDMtODMz…> tool to help identify places in the United States that are unserved and underserved. The tool was created by Microsoft's Chief Data Science Officer Juan Lavista Ferres and the Microsoft AI for Good Lab. It aggregates public data from the Census Bureau, the FCC, BroadbandNow and Microsoft's own broadband usage data. It goes census tract by census tract, examining 20 different indicators of digital equity - such as broadband access, usage, education, and poverty rates. This data provides an aggregated score of digital inequity in the community. The link is now located on Library of Michigan's Statistics<https://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/libraries/admin/statistics> page under "Other Useful Links > Microsoft's Interactive Broadband Mapping Tool." Check out this great article for more information: https://www.fiercetelecom.com/broadband/microsoft-tires-waiting-fcc-creates… Barbara Williams, MLIS Library Development Analyst (MDE) Library of Michigan, 702 W.

Former State Librarian Harriet Tenney is featured in the article "Librarian, Curator, and Leader: The Transformative Harriety Tenney<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…>" by Valerie R. Marvin. Serving from 1869-1891, Tenney was a pioneering librarian who's leadership and legacy still reverberates throughout the state library today. She was Michigan's first female state officer and state department head. The Library's collections greatly expanded in size and scoop throughout her tenure. She also developed key partnerships with groups like the Michigan Pioneer Society. That partnership with the Michigan Pioneer Society led to the creation of the Michigan Pioneer and Historical Collections, an anthology of personal and biographical information of the early settlers of Michigan that is still a key tool for historians and researchers today. A special thanks goes to Valerie Marvin in writing this wonderful article highlighting the history and accomplishments of Harriet Tenney. We are also grateful to the Historical Society of Michigan<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> for making the article available to freely view<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> through their website.
