Description Liz Rea 2012-02-02 21:19:07 UTC 
We show the name of the user in the OPAC in the TITLE of the user pages, so on public stations if the history is not cleared after every session, the next user would be able to see who had logged in last.

The name also appears in "place hold for" pages.

Is this reason for concern? Surely this runs afoul of privacy laws *somewhere*.

It could also be seen as a problem with statistics-systems like Piwik and Google Analytics, that show the titles of pages visited during a session.
