Such unavoidable inspection of personally identifiable information is limited to the least invasive degree of inspection required to perform such duties. This exception does not exempt systems personnel from the prohibition against disclosure of personal and confidential information. Except as provided above, systems personnel shall not intentionally search electronic records or transactional information for violations of law or policy. However, they shall report violations discovered inadvertently in the course of their duties to the Emory University Trust Line (www.finadmin.emory.edu/internalaudit/trustline.html). Back-up Services Operators of Library electronic systems shall provide information about back-up procedures to users of those systems upon request.

Notes Personally identifiable information is any information that can be directly or indirectly associated with a known individual. For example, all information contained in personnel, patron, and circulation files is personally identifiable. 1. Library business refers to activities involved in the provision, maintenance, and management of the Library's systems and services to its patrons and staff. Circulating books and journals, enforcing Library contracts, and troubleshooting problems with the Library's e-mail system are all examples of Library business. Trying to discover who used a Library workstation to issue a harassing message would typically not be Library business, however. 2. Substantiated reason to believe requires reliable evidence, as distinguished from suspicion, rumor, gossip, or other unreliable evidence. 3.
