This panel discussion will explore how academic libraries can support student well-being through intentional de-stress programming. Panelists will highlight practical programs such as Welcome Week initiatives, scavenger hunts, crafting events, low-stakes social events, Finals Week activities, and more. Attendees will leave with adaptable ideas for implementing effective, inclusive de-stress programs in their own libraries and learn more about contributing to a healthier campus environment.

Academic libraries operate at the intersection of competing privacy obligations — legal mandates under state library confidentiality statutes and FERPA, institutional data governance requirements, and the profession's own ethical commitments to intellectual freedom and patron confidentiality. But what happens when these frameworks don't align, or when the platforms and tools libraries depend on introduce data practices that complicate compliance or compromise values? This webinar will help you navigate the complexity and understand what the law requires, what the profession expects, and how to make sound decisions about day-to-day practicalities.
Presenters:
Lisa Janicke Hinchliffe is Professor and Coordinator for Research Professional Development at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Through her leadership of the IMLS-funded Prioritizing Privacy: Data Ethics Training for Library Professionals and the Mellon-funded Licensing Privacy grants, Lisa has contributed frameworks, curricula, and related resources to help library professionals and institutions navigate privacy in an increasingly complex information environment. She has also contributed to privacy-related programs and services of ALA, NISO, and STM.
Sarah Lamdan is the Executive Director at ALA's Office for Intellectual Freedom. She is an attorney and librarian. Before joining ALA, Sarah was a Professor of Law at CUNY School of Law specializing in administrative law, data privacy, and information law. She has also served as a librarian in various academic and private law libraries. Her work has been featured in Library Quarterly, Georgetown Law Technology Review, and NYU's Review of Law & Social Change. Her book Data Cartels was published by Stanford University Press in 2022.
This CARLI-hosted event will be recorded.
