Wissinger, Penn State  \nAbstract  \nLibraries and librarians have dealt with patron privacy issues since their inception, often serving as educators and advocates. In today’s social media-filled landscape, patron privacy has moved from the safeguarding of traditional library records to the creation, use, and ownership of information maintained in an online world. As the core educators for many aspects of literacy, librarians need to keep pace with the issues their users face daily. This paper centers on privacy literacy as an independent area of instruction for library sessions. It reviews a theoretical framework to support privacy literacy instruction and showcases resources and tools for creating privacy literacy education. Finally, privacy issues in healthcare are used to demonstrate the potential impact of privacy literacy instruction.  \nKeywords: privacy literacy; critical thinking; health care  \nPerspectives edited by Carolyn Gamtso & Stewart Brower  \nWissinger, C.L.

With the proliferation of social media sites and mobile technologies, online communication has become routine. Social media sites have become the predominant avenue for creating both a personal and a professional online presence (DeVito, Birnholtz, & Hancock, 2017) . As the number of social media sites grows, the amount of personal information shared by users has steadily increased (Wissinger & Wilson, 2015). With this escalation, the protection of private information in an online environment has become the responsibility of users (Willis, 2014; Martin & Murphy, 2017) . For users of social media sites to understand how their information is used, privacy literacy is a vital skill. Privacy literacy education can help users of social media sites assess the risks of sharing their private information online (Correia & Compeau, 2017) . Librarians play an important role in supporting the development of lifelong literacies and acting as educators and advocates for privacy literacy; however, in the alphabet soup of literacy, privacy literacy’s identity is still being created.  \nThis essay will attempt to align one privacy literacy framework with established definitions of critical thinking to demonstrate the cognitive skills needed to become privacy literate. Current privacy literacy programs taking place in libraries across United States will be highlighted to provide resources for groups interested in starting a privacy literacy initiative at their institutions. The paper concludes with a tangible example of the importance of privacy literacy in the field of healthcare.  \nWhat is Privacy Literacy?  \nPrivacy and digital literacy are often combined and seen as equivalent; however, current definitions of both privacy literacy and digital literacy demonstrate their differences. One broad definition states that privacy literacy is “the understanding that consumers have of the information landscape with which they interact and their responsibilities within that landscape”(Langenderfer & Miyazaki,","cbCaijVVjp9ktB9k","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijVVjp9ktB9k","pdf",163368,12,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n# What is Privacy Literacy?\n# Privacy Literacy is a Cognitive Process","[{\"question\":\"What is the main focus of the privacy literacy paper?\",\"answer\":\"The paper frames privacy literacy as an independent instructional area, reviews a supporting theoretical framework, and presents resources and tools for implementing privacy literacy education.
