#ChoosePrivacy Week, May 1-7
May 1-7 is the week we celebrate #ChoosePrivacy Week at the library. While you should be working to protect your privacy every day, this year Choose Privacy Week is all about inclusive privacy.

Oftentimes the most vulnerable and historically oppressed populations are the ones most adversely affected by privacy violations.

I put together a reading with some library materials on digital privacy and big data. Check it out at the link below!

New Equipment: Light Box
We have recently acquired a light box for the Digital Literacy Lab at Central Library. It's available for use any time the Lab is open.

A light box can be used to view slides and negatives prior to digitizing them. Use of a light box can be a big time saver for your digitization projects.
New Equipment: 3.5" Floppy Disk Drive
We have also added a 3.5" Floppy Disk Drive to our digitization equipment in the Digital Literacy Lab. It's portable and can be used in any computer in the Lab.

The floppy disk drive will allow you to access documents and images from your old floppy disks.
