On part of addressing it that I always think about is the part our users/patrons deal with every day. Patrons go elsewhere to get content all of the time. If these other places can manage privacy, why couldn't we (and do an even better job). A list of books someone checked out really isn't that different from a list of electronic files consumed. People have already decided they want this content. People also tell us they want to get the content from us (libraries), if only we would offer it to them effectively. So, it seems logical that we just figure it out. I'd love to hear more about what you think! That is a huge issue, TM and it is something that REALLY needs to be addressed.
