During the webinar, sample searches were shown for statistics, born-digital, and digitized historical publications. 2017-02-02T00:00:00Z Corporate Privacy Policy Changes during PRISM and the Rise of Surveillance Capitalism Kumar, Priya http://hdl.handle.net/1903/19180 2017-03-29T02:42:59Z 2017-03-22T00:00:00Z Corporate Privacy Policy Changes during PRISM and the Rise of Surveillance Capitalism Kumar, Priya Disclosure of the NSA’s PRISM program demonstrated that Internet companies have become prime targets of government surveillance. But what role do companies themselves play in putting users’ privacy at risk? By comparing the changes in the privacy policies of ten companies—the nine in PRISM plus Twitter—I seek to understand how users’ privacy shifted. Specifically, I study how company practices surrounding the life cycle of user information (e.g. collection, use, sharing, and retention) shifted between the times when companies joined PRISM and when PRISM news broke. A qualitative analysis of the changes in the privacy policies suggests that company disclosure of tracking for advertising purposes increased. I draw on business scholar Shoshana Zuboff’s conceptualization of “surveillance capitalism” and legal scholar Joel Reidenberg’s “transparent citizen” to explain the implications such changes hold for users’ privacy. These findings underscore why public debates about post-Snowden privacy rights cannot ignore the role that companies play in legitimizing surveillance activities under the auspices of creating market value. 2017-03-22T00:00:00Z Do Energy Savings Grow on Shade Trees? Maher, Joe http://hdl.handle.net/1903/19179 2017-03-28T02:49:04Z 2017-01-01T00:00:00Z Do Energy Savings Grow on Shade Trees? Maher, Joe In warm climates, trees could provide natural air-conditioning by shading homes. Yet, there is little rigorous empirical evidence on the shade benefits of green infrastructure. This paper uses data on tree removal permits from a tree protection policy in Gainesville, Florida, between 2000 and 2016, and applies a difference-in-difference estimation model to examine whether tree shade reduces electricity demand. I find that a typical tree removal leads to 4-6% more electricity consumption annually, and 8-10% more during summer months of peak air-conditioning demand. Effects increase with the amount of shade loss: from zero effect (no shade) to 8-12% (large shade loss) and 10-20% (very large shade loss). I then use these estimates to calculate the private benefits of shade trees ($450 to $1,900) and find that they are similar to other energy efficiency investments (retrofits, building codes) assessed using comparable evaluation methods. I also calculate the social benefits (shade benefits to neighbors, avoided emissions, and avoided generation costs) of the tree protection policy and find that they are equal to the city expenditures on this policy. Overall, this study presents a road map for utilities and policy makers to assess returns from investments in green infrastructure. 2017-01-01T00:00:00Z Program for the Spring 2017 MARAC Meeting: Adaptable Archives: Redefine, Repurpose, and Renew MARAC: Mid-Atlantic Regional Archives Conference http://hdl.handle.net/1903/19178 2017-03-28T02:49:07Z 2017-04-01T00:00:00Z Program for the Spring 2017 MARAC Meeting: Adaptable Archives: Redefine, Repurpose, and Renew MARAC: Mid-Atlantic Regional Archives Conference The program for the Spring 2017 MARAC meeting, "Adaptable Archives: Redefine, Repurpose, and Renew" held April 20-22 in Newark, New Jersey.
