The ALA might be saying publicly that librarians should comply with the act, however, they are advising the library staff to destroy all circulation records as quickly as possible. Information that used to be saved for months is now deleted almost immediately. They are far more concerned about the Act than you seem to think.

Thank you Beth- I am glad to hear that these records are being destroyed. I feel the Patriot Act is an invasion and reduction of our rights and should be rescinded.

It's odd, I believe...Our various federal state and local governments give so much funding to library systems. I believe it should be monitored based on the fact that the American government has a vested interst in the library system. Yes they want people to be educated but they probably want to know who goes up and takes out the public copy of the "Anarchist's Handbook." You choose to use the public library system. If you are afraid of being monitored go buy the books for yourself with cash.
