TRANSPARENCY COMES







THE PREVIOUS PUBLIC ACCESS COMPUTER SYSTEM WAS BETTER THAN "SAM". IT IS MY OPINION THAT "SAM", THE SYSTEM IN EFFECT NOW, THAT ALLOWS LIBRARY PERSONNEL TO SEE WHAT CARD NUMBER (PERSON) IS ON WHAT COMPUTER, AT ANY GIVEN TIME, WAS ONE OF THE TWO REASONS FOR INTENTIONALLY DUMBING DOWN THE SYSTEM. THE OTHER REASON, MONEY.

LIBRARY TECHNOLOGY PEOPLE HAVE TOLD LIBRARIANS THAT, WHEN A PERSON LOGS OFF, ANY DOWNLOADED MATERIAL WILL BE DELETED. THIS IS NOT TRUE. FILES REMAIN ON THE DESKTOP, AFTER A PATRON LOGS OFF AND ARE VISIBLE WHEN ANOTHER PATRON LOGS ON. SINCE LIBRARY TECHNOLOGY ARE HIRED AND MAINTAINED FOR THEIR EXPERTISE THAT FAR SURPASSES MY KNOWLEDGE ABOUT COMPUTERS, I CAN ONLY SURMISE THAT THEY LIED TO LIBRARY STAFF.
