Protecting reader privacy and confidentiality has long been an integral part of the mission of ALA and its members. Should it continue to be a priority? In an age when people increasingly use social networking to expose intimate life details, does privacy still matter to information seekers? Does anyone care if their library records and online searches are being tracked? If they don't, why should they? Author Cory Doctorow discusses the importance of privacy and what's at stake if the persistent erosion of privacy continues unchecked. Part of a panel presented by the American Library Association's Office for Intellectual Freedom at ALA's 2008 Annual Conference in Anaheim, California. Transcript (Opens in new window or tab).

embed?
Great talk!
It would be awfully nice to have this in a format so it can be embedded in a blog post a la YouTube. Is there some way to do that? If not, can it be reposted somewhere where it can be? I have a feeling Cory wouldn't mind.
