Interview to Mrs Heiß (librarian) - Real-Projects-Digitalization/RPD-Defendo GitHub Wiki

Summary of a personal interview to the librarian of the Lothstraße Campus HM:

  • She likes the idea of digital Id cards
  • She things surveillance in some areas would help but she has data protection concerns
  • In general she views the library as a very safe space
  • She said digital id cards could help with booked rooms (right now u need a key and its. alot of work to manage access and keys), lockers, and with borrowing a book -> you only need a code because an id card can easily be stolen
  • implies a lot of security measures are because of physical id cards and how easy it is to steal them
  • collaboration between universities -> difficult since they all have their own goals (hm students can access tum university for some reason for example)
  • collaboration in development of a digital id card is difficult because of that
  • she thinks we need to talk to each other more and this would prevent secruity realted issues
  • she mentioned that employing security personal is expensive and if theres an other solution that would archive something similar she would probably take it
  • on the other hand she thinks that the library is such a safe place because theres always a person there
  • library is not envolved in security defining processes. They are more expected to carry out the security related tasks university instances decide on
