Abstract

 

Libraries are not only to provide information resources and references for its users, but also has the responsibility to let users know their rights in using its` resources and protecting their rights. Although some libraries are protecting the privacy of their patrons, yet libraries cannot ensure that personal information will remain confidential. Hence, patrons must therefore have sufficient information to make informed decisions about release of personnel data. Education and orientation is a great way of enhancing privacy policy among library personnel. This study will first summaries the basic concepts of personal information in the context of the library, followed by the possession of personal information in the library, ways library can help protect patrons’ confidentiality and further explore the importance of library privacy policies and finally, suggests ways libraries can help handle patrons’ personal information while complying with the fair information practice principle.

Keywords: Personal information, Fair information Practice, Libraries.
