In the American library, a system dedicated to detecting books that have not been borrowed for a long time and listing them to remove them from the bookshelf is used. A system to make it possible to put another book instead of the detected book, but a Florida librarian creates a fictitious person and borrows "a book that is not popular but necessary for the long term" It has been discovered that by avoiding tracking of algorithms, Florida authorities are investigating as "suspicion of illegal activity".

George Drere, who served as deputy director at the East Lake Library in Orlando, Florida, has found that he registered a fictitious user called "Charles Finley" to camouflage the library's rental history. A fictitious address and a driver's license are registered in the column of user information, and in the past 9 months, there was a history of borrowing more than 2,300 books. It was in the history that John Steinbeck's "Canary Row"In fact, books that are not borrowed are not detected in the algorithm, and from 2015 they have increased the lending rate of the East Lake Library by 3.9%.

As a result of "Marathon reading magazine" continuing for nine months, Charles Finley was a fast-for-all-fast reader to borrow books within an hour and that they were returned from an ordinary person, and because there was anonymous report, People are borrowing books "is found. While working at the library, Mr. Dre has seen the situation that the books listed on the system and removed have been bought back for a while and said, "We save the library's budget and time in the long term I wanted it.

Mr. Dore's investigation by the inspector is proceeding, but it is written "It corresponds to the creation of a false public record" and suspicion of forgery of the official document is put on it. Mr. Dre is advised to take a leave until the result of the investigation comes out, he is currently not working in the library. Incidentally,Lake CountyThe nine public libraries in Namibia have a total annual budget of 1 million dollars (about 115 million yen) distributed according to the loan ratio, so if similar acts are being done in other libraries Investigations by the authorities spread to all the libraries in Lake County as it leads to fraudulent budget hikes.

Because the East - Lake Library is not included in the nine libraries to which the budget is allocated, Mr. Dre 's deed is considered not for money but for the library he works for. Mr. Dore told the investigator, "The opposition to the system using the dummy card is also common in other libraries, and many libraries have a feeling of antipathy due to the budget war."
