The National Forum on Web Privacy and Web Analytics will take place in Bozeman, Montana from September 12-14, 2018. To the participants—thank you for dedicating your time and energy to this topic and to this event! The project team is grateful. 

Our goal with the Forum is to establish and cultivate a space of critical and creative thinking where participants work collaboratively to develop and refine strategies for achieving privacy online.

To get us ready to work together as a group, we have prepared a Reading List, a Participant Survey, a list of participants, and a Code of Conduct. We ask that you review the materials on this page, and complete the Participant Survey by the end of August. We estimate that the survey can be completed in 20-30 minutes. Your reading and your responses will help set the foundation for our collaborative work. 

Pre-Forum Reading List 

1. An Ethical Framework for Library Publishing: Privacy and Analytics

The Library Publishing Coalition recently produced a very fine overview to the topic of privacy and analytics in libraries. Though framed within library publishing, many of the issues and resources are relevant across the landscape of library services.
