What this law does
Rule 3341-3-62 of the Ohio Administrative Code makes it the policy of the Bowling Green State University libraries that the privacy of all users and the confidentiality of all library records will be protected to the fullest extent possible under state and federal law. In most circumstances library records are kept confidential and can be released only under the limited circumstances noted in section 149.432 of the Revised Code.
Information regarding specific transactions is retained only for as long as it is necessary to furnish a specific service. The libraries do not deliberately associate electronic transactions with specific patrons unless that association is administratively necessary.
The libraries use third-party services such as Google Analytics, which may collect information a patron's browser sends with a web page request, such as cookies or an IP address, and the libraries use that data only to provide or improve services to patrons. The rule took effect .
Section 3345.011 of the Revised Code defines a state university as a public institution of higher education that is a body politic and corporate, and recognizes Bowling Green State University as a state university.
