Re:Just DON'T keep (Score 1)

I stated this on a post that is newer, but I'll say it here. Most ciculation datatbases out there (horizon, etc) do not record items that have previously been checked out by a patron. Once the item is returned, it is permenantly erased from the patron's record. The only exceptions being if the item was turned in late or damaged. This prevents anyone from monitoring a patron's past reading habits. The item maintains the number of times it circulates and that is all.
