On point two, however, if you're a large school, and you are using web
analytics to gather information about usage patterns, then you ARE
"monitoring the behaviour of persons in the EU." According to Google
Analytics, we had 120 visitors to my library's website in the past week.
Realistically, we're not going to get in much trouble about this soon,
but we do need to address it.

IANL, but a compliance-related email I received recently mentions the
limits to GDPR’s jurisdictional provisions:
"The GDPR only pertains to units 1) offering goods or services to persons
in the EU or 2) monitoring the behavior of persons in the EU (including
through cookies on the unit’s websites). If you don’t do either of those
things, the GDPR does not apply to your U.S.-based unit."

Since we aren't getting much direction from our respective university
technology departments, is there anything LITA or Code4lib could be doing
to facilitate some more discussions on the impact of GDPR for US university
libraries?

Hi Erin,
I’ve been thinking about it but have no concrete plans. We have a
privacy statement linked to in our footer that I need to reread and make
sure is clear and accurate. Sadly, I’ve heard nothing from my university
yet about what they’re doing.
I too am interested in what other libraries are doing.

Subject: [lita-l] GDPR and your library website
Hi folks,
Is anyone making changes to your library website, sub-sites, or other
digital platforms in order to comply with GDPR regulations?
Bonus: if so, are you also working to increase users' awareness of how
their data is collected and used across the library, not just on the web?
We're mulling a few options here. Our university-level IT group plans to
launch a web click-through page before users from the EU can proceed to
institutional websites, but our library servers don't fall under their
control for this change.
I think this could be an opportunity for us to increase privacy awareness
for all our users, rather than just EU visitors, and I've seen a few
non-library websites present this info to everyone in a way that isn't
obtrusive or alarming. But, I haven't gotten a sense of whether this is
something other library folks are considering as well.
Thanks for anything you've got to share.
