Issues & Advocacy's Hive Mind this Friday!
April 26th 1-2pm

(complete zoom information below)
Please join us at our next Hive Mind that will be centered on discussion of Special Collections & Archives Security & Surveillance practices with special guests from the Abolition in Special Collections Working Group.
The members will give an overview of what the working group is and a top-level overview of the survey they conducted and then we will jump into what promises to be an extremely animated and interesting discussion.
Guiding questions for each of the three big areas that the survey focused on:
Administrative Policies on Law Enforcement
Guiding Questions:
-
Does your workplace maintain a regular relationship with a local law enforcement and/or security presence (e.g., campus police, state/local police, Capitol police, etc.)? If so, is that relationship made transparent by administrative policies or public policies?
-
Does your workplace rely on law enforcement intervention in case of particular emergencies? If so, is there a policy that makes transparent which situations will trigger law enforcement intervention?
-
Do administrative policies provide suggestions for de-escalation in addition to, or as an alternative to, law-enforcement?
Use of Surveillance Technologies
Guiding Questions:
-
What do you consider to be surveillance technology in your workplace?
-
What surveillance technologies do you have in place at your workplace? Did you select any of them or were they already in place when you arrived?
-
What do you see as benefits of having surveillance technologies?
-
What are the drawbacks of having surveillance technologies?
Administration Policies and the Experience of Archival/Spec Coll Workers
Guiding Questions:
-
What data are you directed to attain from your users/patrons/scholars?
-
How long and in what form is that data saved, if at all? Does it have a destruction date, or is it kept indefinitely? Is it someone's responsibility?
-
Have security policies and/or their implementation in practice negatively impacted your ability to do your job or feel safe in your work environment?
