Video Study Guide

Supplemental study guide for the documentary

The Choose Privacy Week Documentary is a great resource to help stimulate thinking and get people talking about privacy issues today. To help promote learning and discussion around the video, we’re pleased to offer a supplemental study guide for the video. The study guide is composed of two parts:

A Librarian’s Guide [pdf] with discussion topics and background information; and
A Viewer Survey [pdf] with 8 questions that can be copied and distributed.

The survey directs audience attention to key issues in the video and the librarian’s guide provides structure and ideas for further discussion.

The Choose Privacy Week Video is available online or as a DVD (for only $5) through the ALA Store.
