Clear and concise in Q and A form, this book presents significant concerns about privacy and confidentiality rights of library patrons and uses legal court cases to document the issues. Of specific value is the fifth chapter on minor concerns and their privacy rights. While it is a short chapter and minimizes details about what constitutes a minor right versus a general First Amendment right, it does cover parental responsibilities for the rights of their minors nicely. Updating current legal thought about this issue is imperative, but this small tome does serve to ask many of the questions most libraries will need to cover. Technological progress related to information access and use is a serious and not well considered danger in this book. It doesn't go into community culture and therefore while some answers may be legally correct, they won't be culturally viable. Useful only for background information.
