Library Privacy Policy

The William H. Hannon Library respects the privacy of its students, faculty, staff, and other users of the library in terms of services a person uses. We consider all library use records as confidential. We do not track Internet usage.

The confidentiality includes materials borrowed and information sought or consulted. Material provided through our Document Delivery Services Office is also considered confidential. Such records may, however, be consulted by library staff members as a normal part of carrying out library functions, such as sending out overdue notices. The library may disclose personal information to law enforcement officers (federal, state, or local) when such person(s) present a subpoena, court order, or search warrant.

The policy is in compliance with:

• LMU privacy policies
• California general laws -- Cal. Gov't. Code §§ 6267 (West Supp. 1989)
• 
  American Library Association:
  
  • Policy on confidentiality of library records
  • Policy concerning confidentiality of personally identifiable information about library users
  • Code of ethics
• USA Patriot Act
  USA Patriot Act in the library
