CANCELLED

NNLM Region 2 regrets to inform you that we are cancelling the Health Data Privacy in the Library webinar that was scheduled for tomorrow, Thursday, August 31st, due to extreme weather conditions. We hope to reschedule this webinar for October. Once we have the new date, we will send a message to all participants who registered for this session, list the new session on https://www.nnlm.gov/training, and advertise on social media. We apologize for the inconvenience.

This webinar will explore the role libraries play in patron health journeys, which includes the layout of our physical spaces, the way we handle sensitive documents, which resources we share, and more. Privacy advocate Tess Wilson will discuss practical approaches to patron support and ways we might teach patrons about their health data safety.
