Are they looking at it in a web based online account? I have to go to our online library catalog to look at my reading history. That reading history is NOT found in my library record in Sierra. So I would say no it is NOT part of their library record.<font size="2">

Subject: [Michlib-l] browsing history and the "library record"
<br />
<br />> Is the browsing history of a patron on a public computer considered
part of their “library record”? It seems to me, the way the law is
worded, that it IS.<o:p />
<br />> <o:p> </o:p>
<br />> And if a minor
patron is observed (by a staff member) engaging in risky (and library
rule-breaking) online behavior, can parents be contacted? This minor patron does
NOT have a signed Release of Minor Child’s Library Record on
file.<o:p />
<br />> <o:p> </o:p>
<br />> All of our computers are
filtered, so we do not require a signed release form for minor patrons to use
the computers.<o:p />
<br />> <o:p> </o:p>
<br />> Thanks in advance
for clarification.<o:p />
