Most librarians are unaware of the laws governing the retention
of library records. In addition, librarians often assume that state
confidentiality laws offer more protection than they, in fact, do.
The proper management of library records is an important legal
issue for all librarians. This professional reference work outlines
laws regarding the retention and confidentiality of library
records. Part I explains why some library records should be saved
and not routinely discarded. It also explains why public record
retention laws apply to library records, and it then examines the
variety of laws state by state. Part II discusses the need for
strong confidentiality laws and traces the evolution of current
laws. It then examines the current status of state confidentiality
laws and demonstrates their weaknesses. While librarians often
believe that confidential records are privileged and may be
destroyed at will, this book clearly explains that this is not the
case.
