“Now the bad news. The Justice Department has eased restrictions on domestic spying, giving the FBI greater authority to monitor libraries and other organizations. An especially cheery item to note is that ‘the new guidelines give FBI agents more freedom to investigate terrorism even when they are not pursuing a particular case.’ Tip for library users: if you need a book about bomb making, terrorism or anarchy, steal, do not borrow; you don’t want to that kind of stuff on your ‘library record’. A good discussion about this development is under way at Web4Lib. If you are not a subscriber, you can read the archive. Look for the ‘FBI to monitor libraries’ thread.”
