Week 5, #12 Library Elf

Even though I probably won't be using this application much myself, I think it would be really handy for patrons with multiple library cards or who frequent several different library systems. Since we live in an area where people can visit libraries in 3 or more systems, I think this tool would be handy in sorting out which books goes where.

My main concern with LE is privacy. Here's an interested article on Library Elf and privacy. Here is another article.

After doing some further research, I found out that Library Elf is relatively easy to hack since most people use relatively simple pin numbers.

In the end, my privacy is far more important than knowing when my books are due.
