Library Card Number
When requesting material, the form asks for my library card number. I wasn't sure if this was optional (although in hindsight I don't think it had a red * next to it). In general I'm hesitant to disclose any "personal" information (yes, I know...this barely qualifies...but its a question of principle) using only an HTTP connection. You might consider using HTTPS at least for handling POSTS.

Thank you for contacting us regarding your online security when submitting information on our site. You are absolutely right that we should handle your library card barcode via a secure connection. As such, the suggest materials/contact form now defaults to an HTTPS connection. If you find any other such circumstance, please do not hesitate to mention it. Thanks again, and have a great day.
