I thought it was an interesting way of allowing people to keep an accessible record of what they have read while still alerting patrons to the fact that any record could be potentially accessed by law enforcement.

St Petersburg Library - A revisit
Well, not entirely. . . I was logged into their website to request a book and I noticed that there is an option to "record your reading list." When I clicked on it, a box appeared which warned that the record could be used by law enforcement and did I really want that.

Intersting post. I wonder how many people actually read the warning. Many people just click through them and have no idea what rights they may be giving up.
Huh. At least there was a warning. Kudos to the SPL for that. I don't think the ones I'm registered out here in CA do that.
That is really interesting, and disturbing. I am just still not used to the "pre-emptive strike" philosphy that our government operates under. Attack them before they have a chance to possibly attack us, collect every possible means of information about everyone so it is ready to be used against them ...
