| contents | Procedures to Follow if a Law Enforcement Official Asks for Patron Information: A Checklist for Access Services Student Employees Austin, Brice Byrne, Tim Miller, Ann Riberdy, Michael Williams, Curt Federal Legislation Confidentiality Law Enforcement Library Services Academic Libraries Library Personnel College Students Student Employment Check Lists Since the U.S.A. PATRIOT Act was signed into law in October, 2001, library administrators have become increasingly concerned that staff-especially student employees-continue to protect the confidentiality of patron records. Administrators have also become increasingly concerned that when law enforcement officials provide paperwork giving them legal access to patron records, staff take steps both to divulge no more information than is necessary and to protect the institution from liability. In response to these concerns, the University of Colorado, Boulder, created an easy-to-understand and easy-to-use document for its public services student employees. This article describes the process by which that document was created, how it was introduced to staff and student employees, and what additional steps are planned for the future. Finally, the document itself is included as a possible model for other institutions that may wish to create procedural guidelines for student employees. (Contains 2 resources and 3 online resources.) |
