[Michlib-l] Question re: patron privacy within the library building - no results

[Kirk Nims]

In corporate libraries, people use the library as a productivity tool. They come to avoid meetings, phones, and cubical noise, and drop in visitors.

So NO we never let callers know if J Doe is in the library unless we are explicitly told to do so by J. Doe.

Subject: [Michlib-l] Question re: patron privacy within the library building    - no results

Last week I posted a question to Michlib, asking how libraries respond
to callers who want to know if a certain person is in the building.   I
received many requests to share the results of my post from librarians
who had the same question!  I received just one response, from a
university library, whose librarians tell the caller that the library
does not provide a messaging or paging service.   I didn't hear from any
libraries who had inserted language governing the privacy of patrons who
are using the facility into their patron privacy policy.
