Before Google, if you wanted to find out about a person, you had to go to a library to pore through newspaper archives and public records. Now a newly-proposed U.K. law may force researchers back to the bookshelves orat leastto the British Librarys website.

New plans from the British government will make it easier for people to delete embarrassing or erroneous information about themselvesonline. U.K. Digital Minister Matt Hancock said in early August the government would introduce new privacy legislation that would expand the right to be forgotten, beyond just search engine results to any personal data held by a third party from social media sites such as Facebook Inc. to forums run by video gamecompanies, like Germanys Bigpoint GmbH, which produces massively multiplayer online game Battlestar Galactica.

The law will bring the U.K. in line with the European Union's existing General Data Protection Regulation, which takes effect in May 2018. But the new privacy rules contain exceptions for some official information, including medical records collected by the National Health Service. Also exempt arethe internet archives maintained by the British Library, which by law is required to collect a copy of all published material in the U.K. Since 2013, the Library has also been required to archive the entire U.K. web domain once per year.

The new legislation will make it far easier for people to expunge unwanted information, meaning archives such as the British Library - home to over 150 million books, manuscripts, and maps may have a more accurate record of online activity than Google, and will be of increasing importance for those looking to trace employment histories or undertake corporate due diligence.

U.K. law already recognizes a right to be forgotten but it has applied primarily to search engine results, such as those generated by Alphabet Inc.s Google and Microsoft Corp.s Bing, and people have generally had to prove that the information they wish to remove has caused damage or distress.

Instead of individuals having to prove damage or distress, material will now be removed on request unless private companies can prove a compelling public interest in keeping it up, said Max Campbell, a privacy lawyer at Brett Wilson Solicitors in London.

In cases where the content was originally generated by the person requesting its removal such as an old blog entry or a post on someones social media page that the person now finds embarrassingor misleadingitwill be much more cut and dry for you to withdraw your consent for data processing and have that data be deleted, Campbell said. You dont have to show that it is causing you substantial distress or damage, or indeed, even any. It is your data and you have the right to say you dont want it there.

The British Library said in a statement that it was pleased the government intends to exempt archiving that is done in the public interest and for scientific, historical research or statistical purposes. This would apply to all of the British Librarys archiving activity, including the UK Web Archive, the statement said.

The Library noted, however, that the government has not provided details of exactly how the exemptionwill be applied in practice. We are in ongoing dialogue with the Data Protection Bill team to ensure that possible risks to the activities of the British Library and similar institutions can be appropriately managed, itsaid.

The Library previously made it clear that it would not follow European regulations to allow people to remove traces of past events of their life from its records.

The most common reasons people want something removed from the internetis because it is erroneous, said Yair Cohen, a lawyer at Londons Cohen Davis Solicitors, who specializein media and privacy cases. But he also saidpeople with oldcriminal convictions or who simply find some material about their younger selves embarrassing or misleading may wish to have that material removed.

Campbell said the U.K. data regulator is broadly sympathetic to removals from search engines, but that in cases of criminal convictions, especially for serious offenses,they will usually conclude there is an overriding publicinterest in keeping the material up. This is particularly true, he said, in cases involving misconduct or fraud in regulated professions, such as medicine, law, or accounting.

The exemption of these archives probably wouldnt cause any concern for those wishing to expunge unwanted data, who tend to care most about search engine results, Campbell said. In an ideal world,people would want to delete every trace of their past, he said. But practically speaking, having something still available on a newspaper website or library archive wont cause that much concern. What people generally are worried about is going for a job interview or a first date with someone and someone puts their name into Google via their phone and the first thing that pops up is something negative.

In 2014, when Google first announced it would comply with the European Court of Justice ruling that established the right to be forgotten, privacy advocates worried the company would try to get around the rules by inserting a note into search results highlighting the fact that it had removed the link and possibly even directing searchers toarchives like the Wayback Machine. In the end, the company decided not to include such notations.

College can be overwhelming, especially for incoming freshmen, but resources like the J.D. Williams Library are there to make life a little easier for students.

Whether studying late for an exam or avoiding a noisy roommate, the library offers the perfect escape. But it isnt justgreat for visiting in person; students can also access the library resources online wherever and whenever.

The librarys website offers plenty ofdatabases filled with information studentscan use for research papers or required readings. Anything from science to history and beyond, these resources have got your back.

Greg Johnson, who works in the archives at J.D. Williams Library, said library employees are the best resource for students trying to figure out where to start.

We (librarians) all know the collections well and can help researchers navigate through large amounts of information, Johnson said.

There are librarians familiar with eachmajor and emphasis to help conduct any research or answer specificquestions.

Librarian Savannah Kelly saidthe easiest way to find a qualifiedlibrarian is to click People under the About tab on the website and click on the Subject Librarians option.

To get further acquainted with the library, Kelly said students taking an EDHE 105/305 class or WRIT 101/102 will have a library session in which they canmeet a librarian and learn how to find books. However, Kelly said she encourages all students to reach out to the staff if they need help.

The writing center located on the first floor is another availabletool for students. It opens during select times in the week for students who cant find time to make it over to Lamar Halls writing center. This is especially useful when trying to cram in that paper during midterms and finals.

There are various places for students to study alone, but for group studiers, the library featuresstudent rooms and cubicles with large-screened computers to make group projects a little less stressful.

Students have to find a place that works for them,Kelly said.

One of the most important unwritten rules of the library is the permittednoise level allowed for each floor. Normal talking is allowed on the first floor, the second allows hushed talking, and on the third, complete silence is expected.

Computers are available in the Baxter Room next to Starbucks on the second floor, along with an array of newspapers and magazines. Additional computers are located in the lounge on the first floor, and they are loaded with many of the software programs needed for classes.

Forany video projects throughout the year, the library also offers an easy-to-use film and editing studio available toreserve online for an hour at a time.

Forgot your computer charger or leave atextbook at home? The front desk lendsoutthese items for a few hours free of charge. Studentscan also check out umbrellas, DVDs and CDs for short periods of time.

Cecilia Bortero, dean of J.D. Williams, and Stanley Whitehorn, head of library facilities, encourage students to come and talk about things they want to see in the library.

If there is anything you would like to see, to come and talk about it and share it, Whitehorn said.

Hesaid this year, due to suggestions from previous years, study rooms will now be available to reserve through the library website, instead of the former first-come, first-serve policy.

Whitehorn said any room is open is allowed for study space, except when reserved for meetings.

So, students, take advantage of J.D. Williams. Spend a night studying on one of the floors, typing atits computers orchatting with a librarian, but dont forget to keep it down.

ELKINS (KFSM) If youre still in need of some solar eclipse glasses before the big event on Monday (Aug. 21), start making your way to Elkins.

The Elkins public library will be giving away about 500 pairs of the ISO-approved glasses beginning at 10 a.m. when the library opens.

The Elkins School District was originally planning on having students view the eclipse, and the library provided a pair of glasses for all the students and staff.

However, on Sunday (Aug. 20) district officials announced the school would be streaming the event live due to safety concerns. The students will be watching indoors so they will not be tempted to look at the sun directly. Parents can check students out to allow them to watch the eclipse at their own risk.

Library officials picked up the glasses and will be giving them away before the solar event.
