I notice that the JISC Senior Management Briefing Paper on
the Data Protection Act 1998 is now available on the JISC Web site
at http://www.jisc.ac.uk/pub99/sm09_data_prot.html
Personally I'm disappointed that it contains no explicit reference
to the collection or disclosure of personal data on an institution's
Web site (my particular area of interest), but hopefully it will
help to reinforce to HE Senior Managers the importance of this
legislation and their obligations under it. I'm still amazed at the
complacency of some that I talk to over these issues!
Best wishes,
Adrian
