The feds wanted to get librarians to serve as informants so that the reading habits of library patrons could be scrutinized. Librarians pretty much rejected that idea, and the feds were saddled with having to resort to going through a legal process to get any such information. Damn. Now, with Google soon to put all these books on-line, a new way to track who's reading what presents itself. What an opportunity!! Think Google will play along?
