I remember reading a biography of Lee Harvey Oswald many years ago (can't
remember the title, though) and the author and/or the FBI had access to his
borrowing record at the Dallas Public Library. Makes you think...

Can I remind you of how Morgan Freeman's character started his investigation
on the murders in the film Seven? He went to the public library and tapped
his sources there for who had been borrowing Dante and other authors
connected with the seven deadly sins. I think he told his apprentice that
whenever the FBI were investigating a serial killer, one of the first places
they looked was the library records to see who had been borrowing what.
Now I know this example is drawn from Fiction, but how close to the truth is
it?
