The Ionian University, School of Information Science and Informatics, Department of Archive and Library Sciences, in collaboration with LiSS (Living in Surveillance Societies Programme), organized a workshop titled ʽSurveillance in Academiaʼ, which took place in Athens, February 23-24, 2012. A series of papers were presented in the two-days seminar, in which more than 25 speakers discussed their work together in Athens. The Seminar was selected for funding after a review process of many workshop proposals, by the European LiSS Management Committee. This volume is the workshopʼs proceedings, where some papers from the International Conference on Information Law and Ethics 2011 and 2012 were added, to make a more complete work. The aim is to offer a volume not only on surveillance in connection to academia, although this is the main theme, but more widely, on modern privacy issues as well. Twenty one papers comprise this volume.
