[WEB4LIB] Re: Privacy, the USA Patriot Act, electronic finger printing to replace library cards etc.

[Drew, Bill]

Aleph 500 from Ex Libris retains the borrower links even after an item is
returned (at least through version 14.2). I believe they are working on
changing this.  What was DRA MultiLis also maintained the links unless you
deleted the patron record.  

Karen Harker and Phillip Whitford are entirely right that libraries have a
false sense of security.  It is not just in computer privacy, it extends to
privacy of all types of records and transactions.
