Abstract

Taking the privacy policies of 56 American research university libraries as research objects, the paper analyses their privacy policies from nine aspects, such as readers' collecting information, collecting purposes, open condition, reader's right, disclaimer, children's privacy and information technology security. It gets several enlightenments for Chinese university libraries from the angles of legal basis, library organizations role, policy content, librarian's self-discipline, reader's right consciousness and technology security, in aspects of methods and ways of which they respect reader's privacy and improve related policies.
