We could do all of that, of course. We have the same technology that everyone else on the web has. But there’s the small matter of patron confidentiality, and of not collecting any data that the FBI could come in and slap a national security letter on you for.

Amy, I TOTALLY agree w/ you. I was just talking w/ the director of our library the other day about how our industry needs to catch up on the fully-customizable, personalized, self-service websites that everyone-else-but-libraries have had en masse for what seems to me like years.

I'd have preferred us to be driving the bandwagon instead of running behind it, but i guess at least it's in view.
