Does anyone have a warning/disclaimer on their website about opting
in/out of "Reading History"?

I just want to point out one problem not related to privacy that we have encountered with turning this on. We are still on Silver and recently implemented Millennium Circulation.

We noticed that whenever certain patrons checked out materials, the system would take 30 seconds (we timed it) to register EACH item scanned. The helpdesk tracked it down to patrons who have their reading history turned on. Sure enough, my record was slow, I turned off the reading history and as Emeril would say, "Bam!" - my checkouts were instantaneous.

This is supposed to be remedied in Rel. 2005. If you haven't implemented the reading history yet, wait until you install 2005.
