New York University

New York University, along with the Library Freedom Project, seeks to build upon and enhance the previous IMLS-funded (supplemented) Library Freedom Institute (LFI). LFI is an intensive train-the-trainer program for public librarians passionate about privacy. The project seeks to foster professional development by having previous LFI graduates (Privacy Advocates) teach subsequent shorter and more focused cohorts, hold a first annual meeting to further collaboration, and provide year-round support. The project aims to build the network of Privacy Advocates into a self-sustaining community of individuals focused on privacy awareness, advocacy, and training.
