Unit 13 readings

No Place To Hide seems awfully paranoid to me. I recognize the importance of protecting patron's account information, as well as keeping confidential the materials that they check out from a library, but the insinuation that "They know where you live, the value of your home, the names of your friends and family, in some cases even what you read" seems awfully conspiracy theory to me. Should I work in a lending position, I would certainly do my best to protect the privacy of patrons, but I don't know that Big Brother is as prevalent as No Place To Hide wants us to think.
