45 Association of Research Libraries Research Library Issues 297 — 2019 Conclusion Protecting the privacy of patrons remains an essential principle for public libraries. The commitment to this principle is regularly challenged by a variety of pressures, including the ease of data collection and dissemination created by technological advances. Although these challenges are sharpened by technology, libraries can draw on their history of offering a sanctuary for intellectual freedom. New projects focusing on understanding these pressures and training librarians will help guide public libraries through these challenges.
