Who's Tracking You Online? The Quiet Big Data Revolution
Every mouse click, every keystroke, and every tablet or smart phone selection that we make helps data collectors paint a picture about who we are. The digital footprints that individuals quietly and slowly create with this data trail can be useful to everyone from retailers to health care professionals to the government.

Join us on Tuesday, August 5 at 6:00 PM for an interactive presentation, where we will talk about the positive, negative, and uncertain implications of the era of Big Data, to include critical issues surrounding individual privacy and security. We will also discuss ways that individual web users can minimize their online footprint. Space is limited - please call the Reference Desk at ext. 17 to register.

Presented by Greg Page, CEO and co-founder of Merrimack Analysis Group.
