Interesting that we have been on a thread of OPAC logs. Is everyone ready
to turn those logs over to the FBI? Better get the web logs, proxy, and
patron records out while we're at it. Is there a patron field or web
server log delineation for "foreigner?" It's always refreshing to see
professional ethics described as "bureaucratic restrictions."
That was sarcasm, just in case anyone has mistaken my ethical concern for
sympathy with Mr. Ashcroft's new plans ;)
