- Abstract
In the wake of surging anti-immigrant rhetoric, the end of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, and aggressive ICE raids, undocumented people in our communities face extra scrutiny and threats. Libraries are well-positioned to raise privacy concerns and suggest strategies to protect undocumented students or other users. In this presentation, we will give an overview some of the privacy and security issues facing undocumented students, and describe some of the specific choices we made in building a website for undocumented students at Oregon State University.
- Learning Outcomes
Attendees will be able to:
- Describe the issues facing undocumented people in your user community
- Suggest ways to improve their institution’s website to protect undocumented library users
