Introduction
January 29th, 2018 over 30 people from five academic libraries gathered together to discuss how to protect privacy while improving the user experience within library digital spaces. To prepare for the discussion, two articles were provided “ Privacy and User Experience in 21st Century Library Discovery” by Shayna Pekala and a blog article entitled “Does the best library web design eliminate choice?” by Michael Schofield. There were two overarching themes developed within these two sources; namely, privacy and intellectual freedom (Pekala) and personalization vs. privacy (Schofield).
