This study collected data from randomly solicited members of the Indiana Library Federation, a statewide library association including librarians from all types of libraries. Qualified respondents were those who received their M.L.S./M.L.I.S. prior to 1996. Participants were asked about the digital library-related topics they had studied in the past two years, the continuing education methods they had used, and how helpful they had found the activities in which they had engaged. Analysis of the responses reveal that a large majority of the librarians in this study see training in digital library skills as important and they seem to be making the acquisition of these skills a priority.Item Open Access to Student-edited Law Journals(2009) Keele, Benjamin J.Student-edited law journals should consider providing free online access to their articles.Item Privacy by Deletion: The Need for a Global Data Deletion Principle(2009) Keele, Benjamin J.With global personal information flows increasing, efforts have been made to develop principles to standardize data protection regulations. However, no set of principles has yet achieved universal adoption. This note proposes a principle mandating that personal data be securely destroyed when it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. Including a data deletion principle in future data protection standards will increase respect for individual autonomy and decrease the risk of abuse of personal data. Though data deletion is already practiced by many data controllers, including it in legal data protection mandates will further the goal of establishing an effective global data protection regime.Item Review of Universities and Copyright Collecting Societies(2010) Keele, Benjamin J.Book review of DK Mendis, Universities and Copyright Collecting Societies.Item Review of Oxford International Encyclopedia of Legal History(2010) McCloud, JacquelynItem Review of The Oxford International Encyclopedia of Legal History(2010) McCloud, Jacquelyn N.Item A Primer on Digital Object Identifiers for Law Librarians(2010) Keele, Benjamin J.Digital object identifiers have not received much attention by law librarians, but they may become more useful in the near future.
