Abstract

The article discusses the growing importance of privacy literacy in the digital age, particularly the role of libraries and librarians in educating users about protecting their personal information online. Traditionally, libraries focused on safeguarding the privacy of patrons’ records, such as borrowing histories and library usage. However, with the rise of the internet and social media, privacy concerns have expanded to include the creation, sharing, and ownership of digital information.
