SUMMARY:Privacy in the Digital Age
DESCRIPTION:The second discussion in our Great Decisions collaboration with Poughkeepsie Library District will be “Privacy in the Digital Age” facilitated by Jane Livingston\, Associate CIO for Campus Community Technologies\, Yale Univ.\, on Mon.\, June 8\, 7-8:30 pm\, Boardman Road Branch Library\, Greene Rm. For more information or to sign up for the discussion group\, contact Reference Desk\, at 485-3445 x3702\, or email adultevents@poklib.org. \nLegislation\, both at home and abroad\, hasn’t kept pace with technological developments and is currently in flux in the U.S. as Congress negotiates changes to the Patriot Act. The idea of “privacy” has undergone significant changes in the digital age\, as has the idea of privacy “harm.” Fearful of British spying\, influence\, and intervention\, the founding fathers granted citizens significant protections in the Constitution.

SUMMARY:Great Decisions: Russia and the Near Abroad.  Facilitated by Martin Charwat.  Mon\, May 11\, 7-8:30 p.m.
DESCRIPTION:The first discussion in our Great Decisions collaboration with Poughkeepsie Library District will be on “Russia and the Near Abroad” facilitated by Martin Charwat on Mon.\, May 11\, 7-8:30 pm\, Boardman Road Branch Library\, Greene Rm.  For more information or to sign up for the discussion group\, contact Reference Desk\, at 485-3445 x3702\, or email adultevents@poklib.org. \nThis session examines the movement later known as the Euromaidan\, or “Euro Square\,” which pulled western Ukraine closer to its European neighbors while another powerful force threatened to tear away the country’s eastern half: Russia.  Putin’s pushback against European expansionism has the West wondering: If Putin’s Russia isn’t afraid to take an aggressive stance against Europeanization in Ukraine\, what does that mean for the rest of Russia’s neighbors?
