It feels odd to be criticized for efforts that I believe provide benefits to the broader library community. Including a disclaimer does not imply that the data are being used unethically.
This particular risk is always present in any situation where you have something that says "person/organisation A is using software X." Personally, I think the benefit far outweighs the risk.
The Nelsonville Public Library was the first public library in the US to use Koha. I considered it a privilege to be able to tell others about our experience and encourage them to make the same switch. Having that information available to all was a benefit to us and to Koha. Anyone can usually find out what automation system a library is using by going to their web site. I don't see how eliminating lib-web-cats listings is going to make anyone safer. -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org
