Vanderbilt University; Libraries’ Buchanan Fellows adapt with new skills during pandemic
"Before the pandemic, the fellows for the Ethics of Information
project were scheduled to participate in a library fair on intellectual
freedom and privacy issues, according to Andrew Wesolek, director of digital scholarship and communications for the Jean and Alexander Heard Libraries.
“Our students were going to staff the information tables and discuss
with attendees the various online privacy tools they had learned about
in weekly seminars,” said Wesolek, who co-directed the fellowship with
Melissa Mallon, director of Peabody Library; Bobby Smiley, director of
Divinity Library; and Sarah Burriss, doctoral candidate in the
Department of Teaching and Learning at Peabody College. “The fair was
cancelled, but students pivoted to create highly informative public service announcements on information privacy that can be viewed online.”
The student-produced PSAs cover everything from preventing unwanted
Internet ad pop-ups to the dangers of personal data collection by some
of the emerging and unregulated technologies."
