“…From previous empirical research in libraries, it can be concluded that ethical codes of libraries do not provide adequate answers or tools for the modern use of information and communication technologies in libraries (Ferguson et al, 2016), that privacy is a frequent source of ethical dilemmas and concerns in libraries (Sturges et al, 2003;Corrado, 2020), and libraries are not fully prepared for the challenges related to privacy and personal data protection (Bailey, 2018;Corrado, 2020).…”

PurposeThe research aims to establish the predictors of the acceptance of technical and organizational measures for the protection of personal data to ensure information privacy in Croatian libraries, starting from the constructs of the APCO Macro Model.Design/methodology/approachTwo data collection methods were used: the online survey questionnaire method and the analysis of the websites of independent libraries in the Republic of Croatia.FindingsThe results show that the acceptance of measures for personal data protection by a library manager is mostly influenced by perceived knowledge, while culture and trust have a positive correlation of moderate strength. Awareness has a low positive correlation, and privacy experience is not statistically related to the acceptance of measures. There is no statistically significant difference in the acceptance of measures for the protection of personal data concerning age and work experience in the profession. There is a statistically significant correlation between compliance with the principle of transparency and the size of the library.Originality/valueThe study is valuable as it examined the characteristics of the culture of information privacy in libraries and determined the existence and impact of factors that influence ensuring the information privacy of users in Croatian libraries.

“…Consequently, ‘[w]hile the ethical concerns for protecting patron privacy are in themselves important reasons to protect library patron data, there are other reasons as well. Some of them are legal’ (Corrado, 2020: 46).…”

Eight Ibero-American political constitutions that include professional secrecy (confidentiality) as a constitutional guarantee are analysed, and their influence as a fundamental right in the professional practice of librarians is examined. The impact of professional secrecy is established in professional codes of ethics, and it is shown that they do not clearly express this principle; its application in trade unions has limited effectiveness. The various difficulties involved in preserving professional secrecy in library practice, which work centres try to violate, are shown.
