If you invited me to your library, where you have books you have paid for, I would not consider it rude if you interrupted me for a few seconds with this request.
Heck, if you DEMANDED I give you my email before coming in, I think I would accept the exchange.
Just click the X and be on with your day. This does not seem like a ridiculous request at all.
- gnu8 7y agoI have clicked on my last X for the day. This is getting to be worse than the X10 camera pop up ads from years ago. I’m a person, not a conversion or an eyeball, and if someone offers me a document I expect to be able to read it without being harassed. It’s a sad state of affairs when even MIT, an apparently esteemed university is only publishing information for the sake of the grift, rather than to stimulate the public intellect.

- kd5bjo 7y agoUnderstanding and reasoning about a text is a concentration-heavy activity that libraries exist to facilitate, and context-switching costs are similar to programming. In a library, it is rude to interrupt someone for any reason less urgent than closing time.
