<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">I think my concern is that they’re asking for so much personally identifiable information. I’d be less likely to resist if the data requested didn’t include personal
information. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">The data, for legitimate use, could be just as valuable with position names (e.g. Library Director, page, etc.) without including personal names linked to all
the data. If someone really needed to follow up on an actual person, they could do that with minimal effort, but to aggregate personally identifiable information into who-knows-what kind of database or source they’re creating seems like a privacy invasion
more than a “transparency” issue. Perhaps we, as library researchers, need to investigate who these groups are and what they do with this information.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">We received the FOIA request from OpenTheBooks that has been much discussed. We complied and sent info as requested. We use Quickbooks and it to about 20 minutes for the bookkeeper to export a report and make a
few changes as requested. We have about 25 employees. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">I don't understand why there is so much resistance to just responding to the request. It seems some folks are spending more time trying to wiggle out of it or outsmart the folks making the request - than it would
take to just comply and fulfill the information request. <o:p></o:p></p>
