When companies like Thomson Reuters and RELX Group are simultaneously library service providers and data brokers they can access library patron data and repackage that data for profit.31 Library vendors collect more and more patron data as they develop services to track patron preferences and make collection development decisions.32 Librarians have long been concerned with the privacy implications of digital authentication features vendors put in products to help verify patron identities and track their use of online databases.33 When vendors that track library patrons also participate in data brokering, it is entirely possible that patron data is in the mix of personal data the companies sell as data brokers.34 Neither Thomson Reuters or RELX Group has denied doing so.35 Furthermore, in 2018, both Thomson Reuters and RELX Group modified their privacy statements to clarify that they use personal data across their platforms, with business partners, and with third party service providers.36 In the current information economy, librarians increasingly lack leverage to confront powerful corporate vendors like Thomson Reuters and RELX Group.37 keywords: data; information; law; libraries; library; privacy; products; research; surveillance; vendors cache: /shared/reader-library/lead-pipe/cache/pipe-0097.html plain text: /shared/reader-library/lead-pipe/txt/pipe-0097.txt item: #98 of 293 id: pipe-0098 author: Sarah Lamdan title: Librarianship at the Crossroads of ICE Surveillance date: 2019 words: 11592 flesch: 47 summary: In our work, library consultant is defined as “an individual offering a range of professional skills and advice relevant to the operation of libraries.
