Police and/or Government Requests for Library Records

The “Site Index” on our WMRLS Homepage also aims to serve as a “ready reference” and provides information on frequently asked questions posed by staff or our member libraries. Recently, we have fielded a number of questions about how to best handle police and/or government requests for library records. For this reason, my colleague, Jan Resnick, and I have researched this topic and created a new webpage titled “Police and/or Government Requests for Library Records” (accessible to all via our “Site Index” - http://www.wmrls.org/toc/index.html as well as directly at http://www.wmrls.org/wmrls/police-requests.html )
