		<description><![CDATA[I liked what a previous place of work (public library in Texas) did with comments and complaints. Every comment and complaint that was received in writing (whether by email or paper) was responded to in public.

The comment / complaint was anonymized (patron and staff information was edited out) and a response was given by the Director. Both the comment and the response were then published on the library&#039;s internal web site and in a binder that was kept near the front door. New responses were published every Tuesday. 

This was very popular with patrons and demonstrated transparency to the public and to staff.]]></description>
