University, College and Research Group (London Section) invite you to

Evening Discussion Meeting - "Policing Library Users - Ethics &
Practice" - Wednesday 8th October 2008 at CILIP HQ, Ridgmount Street.
Refreshments and food from 5.30pm for 6pm start. The meeting should
finish by 8pm.
There will be no charge for attending the event.
There is concern that library staff may be enlisted to police library
users suspected of involvement in terrorism, a matter highlighted by Tim
Buckley-Owen in his recent lecture "Bloggers, Blowers and Leakers" to
the Association of UK Media Librarians (reported in Information World
Review -
http://www.iwr.co.uk/information-world-review/features/2221469/bloggers-blowers-leakers-4087452
). This meeting is an opportunity to discuss and explore the issue.
