In my high school, I have turned this feature off. I don't want to be able to tell
a parent, a police officer, a judge etc. what books the student has checked out.

Whether the feature is on or off the data still exists in your database. It has
always been accessible in Follett. The new feature just makes it much easier to
get at. When the feature is on you will notice that it brings up data from before
the 6.3 upgrade so turning it off doesn't erase the data. If you turn it back on
it is all still there. If a judge or your boss tells you to find and release the
data you are obligated to do it. The only benefit to turning it off is that it
will keep others (volunteers, student aids, etc.) from easily viewing the
information.
