Checking out Mao? No need to worry

In the wake of the (ultimately false) report that the federales had visited a student becuase he requested Mao's Little Red Book (See: The Canadian Privacy Law Blog: Borrow the wrong book and get it personally delivered by the feds; and then The Canadian Privacy Law Blog: Story about feds visiting after request for Mao book is a hoax), the UMass Dartmouth and Penn libraries are trying to reassure patrons that their records are safe. In fact, they say that once you return the book you've checked out, the title is no longer connected to your borrowers' record. Check out the Daily Pennsylvanian: Checking out Mao? No need to worry.
