Crossposting on CIO, SECURITY and LIBIT lists: Colleagues, Over the past 10 years I have been involved in leading and improving security and privacy within library, publishing and university environments. One of the topics that comes up regularly and is fairly consistent is the struggle in the relationships between University IT and the Library as well as between Information Security and University Libraries. Some of the rationale goes back in time, some of the basis still remains today, but there’s increasing need for these groups to improve relationships. With the recent amplification of threats by hacking groups and foreign states against researchers and their research, and university networks and systems I am hoping that there is renewed interest in rebuilding these relationships to help on a common cause. Layer in changes to the technology that libraries have long counted on to allow access to content and evolving legislation reinforces the need to work closely together on what comes next for the security and privacy within the technology of the library. In speaking with Brian Kelly recently, we are trying to gauge interest in establishing an EDUCAUSE working group comprised of leadership representatives from University Librarians, CISO and CIO organisations with the goal of creating aides, playbooks and education to help understand each others mission and overcome the challenges that have kept relationships from building and growing in the past. If you are interested in participating or contributing to such a group, please contact me at daniel () secratic com <mailto:daniel () secratic com> and cc: Brian Kelly. If you already have a strong relationship with your university library, please also get in touch as I would like to know what has made it and keeps it strong and share across the communities.
