Forget Tim Spalding...who am I?

Okay, after my previous post, I decided to do a little more "playing" at the Librarything site. I did find that it is not all that easy to decipher who actually has created personal book catalogs. Most people do use pseudonnyms so it is anyone's guess who they actually might be in reality. I do wonder about the possibility of tracking ISP addresses, but that is not exactly an easy feat, either. The reason I am so paranoid about this site definitely is related to my background working at a public library. I have been trained to protect the privacy of patrons records. The whole concept of Spalding's site just seems an antithesis of the procedures I have been taught to enforce at the library. So maybe the question of this sites' security has more to do with who I am than who Spalding is...I am still uncertain about creating my own catalog at this point. I think I will mull it over for awhile and wait and see how things develop on the site before rushing to my bookshelves. However, it is a great site for lurking and learning, so for now, I will observe this site with a scientific eye and see what evolves.
