LOS ANGELES CHAPTER OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR INFORMATION SCIENCE
Be A Part Of It All.

The Los Angeles Chapter of the American Society for Information 
Science and Technology (LACASIS) invites you to its January Dinner Program.

The Internet and Web Privacy
Presented by Karen Coyle

Karen Coyle's presentation will explain the privacy risks of Internet use 
and how these relate to patron and staff use of the Net. Topics of 
discussion include: current U.S. privacy laws, technical solutions to 
privacy risks, how libraries can educate the public, IP addresses, cookies 
and security issues.

Ms. Coyle has nearly 20 years experience developing computer systems for 
libraries.  She currently works at the University of California in the 
California Digital Library. She is outspoken about the effects, both 
negative and positive, that electronic information is having on the social 
role of libraries. Her book, "Coyle's Guide to the Information Highway," 
describes the effect on libraries of new developments in the areas of 
privacy, public access, copyright, and privacy. Ms. Coyle is active in 
Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility. An essay on gender and 
computing entitled: "How Hard Can it Be?" appeared in the Seal Press book 
"Wired Women: Gender and New Realities in Cyberspace" in 1996.
