Looking at various university websites, I have discovered that some have staff and student e-mail and telephone directories available to the general web-surfing public, some state that they do not have such a directory because of data protection legislation and others still, appear to have adopted an "opt-in" system whereby only staff/students who ask to have their contact details included will be published, resulting in an incomplete directory. I find this discrepancy slightly worrying - has anybody received advice from the OIC on this matter?
