Summary:

Examines section 215 of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT) Act, to expand the ability of Federal law enforcement officials engaged in an investigation of international terrorism to obtain a court order for access to certain business records, in light of concerns that such expanded powers would permit authorities to obtain an order for access to library loan records or records of library computer use.
