Abstract

EDITOR'S SUMMARY

In a digital age, it is very difficult to maintain complete privacy when posting on social media or making purchases. Individual activity on the internet is increasingly collected by corporations, even with the user's knowledge, and can be used to predict future behavior, purchasing choices or other sensitive subjects. This data analysis is often done without a user's consent and in many cases presents unethical behavior and breaches of privacy. In the world of libraries, the privacy of patrons has been tantamount for decades, but trying to keep up with privacy codes and still make use of this big data can be challenging for librarians. Big data can be beneficial to libraries in many ways, and if pointed at library systems, rather than the habits of patrons, can also keep privacy intact.

大数据对图书馆员和信息专业人员隐私的影响
编者总结:在数字时代,在社交媒体上发帖或购物时很难保持完全的隐私。个人在互联网上的活动越来越多地被企业收集,甚至在用户知情的情况下,还可以用来预测未来的行为、购买选择或其他敏感话题。这种数据分析通常是在未经用户同意的情况下进行的,在许多情况下会出现不道德的行为和侵犯隐私的行为。在图书馆的世界里,几十年来,用户的隐私一直是平等的,但对图书馆员来说,试图跟上隐私法规的步伐,同时仍然利用这些大数据,可能是一个挑战。大数据可以在很多方面给图书馆带来好处,如果针对的是图书馆系统,而不是读者的习惯,也可以保护隐私。
