The IAPP has launched its first eBook.
Introduction to IT Privacy: A Handbook for Technologists is now available in eBook format from the Kindle bookstore on Amazon.
“In an effort to provide our members access to privacy training content in the ways they find most useful, we decided to pursue offering our first eBook title for those privacy professionals who prefer to access this material digitally,” said IAPP Training Director Marla Berry, CIPT. “We look forward to the response to this initial offering and anticipate we may be providing future texts to our members in this format as well.”
If you’re looking for a privacy resource at a reasonable price, this is it. On sale now for $29.95, the book is available at Amazon here. Introduction to IT Privacy can also be read on iPhones, iPads or Android tablet and phones or via your computer through the free Kindle Reading Apps for the Mac or PC.
