SEKnFind Confidentiality Policy

Adopted by the Executive Board 08/05/16

Records of patron registration and circulation which pertain to identifiable individuals shall be regarded as confidential. As permitted by K.S.A. 45-221 (a) (23), they are deemed to be not subject to disclosure under the Kansas Open Records Act. As the administrative authority for the SEKnFind service, SEKLS is the agency to whom such a subpoena, warrant or order should be submitted. No library participating in SEKnFind is authorized to disclose confidential records, but should refer all requests to SEKLS. Such records shall not be released except pursuant to a valid subpoena, warrant or court order in a court of competent jurisdiction. SEKLS shall have the right to object to a subpoena and ask it be quashed on a case by case basis as allowed by law.
