Mary,
the benefit of deleting one's Bookshare history would be for privacy
reasons. this is why one's borrowing record is deleted at public and
academic libraries. The government may want to know the books someone
has read. An opposing party in a lawsuit usually wants to subpoena
Internet providers to learn websites visited and search terms used.
With bookshare, there is a treasure trove of data because a member's
download history is never deleted from Bookshare's records.
I fail to understand why Bookshare treats the privacy of peple with
disabilities much differently from the standards of mainstream public
libraries.
