Getting Our IT Together with Justin Denton: The Library is Open Ep. 63

In this episode of the Library is Open Podcast, we have special guest Justin Denton, Chief Information Officer at Illinois Valley Community College! Justin recently hosted a session in our Digital Defense: Cybersecurity for Libraries webinar series called "Small Budget, Big Defense: Free and Low-Cost Tools That Protect Your Library." There were so many useful tips and insights from this webinar that we thought Justin needed to come on the podcast and share more. In this episode, we learn more about Justin's journey to becoming a Senior IT Executive, what he's learned along the way, and his favorite tools to keep systems safe and secure! Check out Justin's next session in our Digtal Defense series here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/KZJ-BsIXRTCdrONWBKZINQ#/registration

We examine some of the results of these findings, what inspired the study and policy, and how libraries can begin to assess their AI policies if they haven't started yet.
