Title: Message
You
are right--the Patriot Act makes it easier for the FBI to get a warrant for
records; it does not require libraries to maintain new kinds of
records.

You CAN get there from here . . .

There has been some discussion about the Patriot Act
and where past circulation records reside in an III system and how to access
these records. Additionally, there has been mention of saving information that
was not saved before. Why?
Maybe I'm missing something and maybe
someone out there can provide better understanding.
The Patriot Act, as
I read it, is all about disclosure of information (without due process). If
the information simply does not exist, then it cannot be disclosed. The Act
gives government agencies access to transaction records that exist, but does
not mandate the creation or archiving of these records if they no not exist --
for Libraries or any other business.
