CeeBee, have you seen this story about privacy of the public-access computers in a library? Library confrontation

Yes, I did. The children's librarian was exactly right to challenge the police and demand a search warrant. It must have been somewhat amusing, as she is 4'10" and the five policemen were tall ones.

Library policy is to protect the privacy of patrons. Brooke wasn't the only person who used that computer.

Have you seen the T-shirt for the Guild of Radical Militant Librarians? The motto is: Scimus quae legis, et non dicimus. Picture (Note: this is the manufacturer and seller's website, but it's the only place I know of where the shirt can be seen.)

Pogo, I love that t-shirt and many of the others on that site. I can't wait to share this with coworkers!
