<p><b>2. How private and secure are our medical records?</b><br>
With privacy always at the front of our minds here in <st1:State
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Ohio</st1:place></st1:State> libraries,
patrons viewing their
medical records online could certainly push the limits. It may just
increase
the number of medical reference questions you get as well. (Don't

<p><b>4. A <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tag_cloud"
mce_href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tag_cloud">tag cloud</a> is a
visualization of word frequencies.</b><br>
Here's an idea...let's go against nearly every Library of Congress
subject
heading and let the PEOPLE tag information into their own subject
categories.
How anti-librarian is THAT? Actually, it may be a great idea! At a
glance,
readers can tell what's talked about, or tagged, the most. For a funny
example
of tagging, <a href="http://www.toondoo.com/View.toon?param=294029"
mce_href="http://www.toondoo.com/View.toon?param=294029">click here</a>.
