Abstract
This study investigates how librarians view library user privacy. To this end, a four-part survey was conducted: respondents' opinions about the privacy of library users, the degree to which library records violate the users' privacy, the role libraries and librarians fulfill to ensure user privacy protection, and librarians' need for privacy education. Results showed that librarians were very aware of privacy issues, but they perceived that library users' privacy awareness was not high. In particular, they had little knowledge of what library records or which library tasks might have the potential to violate users' privacy. In addition, awareness efforts of librarians to ensure user privacy was very low. On the other hand, the need for library user privacy educational programs was shown to be very high, and the willingness to participate was also relatively high.
