English:could any one tell me what's the word 'as' means here
Many firms, for instance, have great difficulty in obtaining technical or scientific books from libraries because they are unwilling to have their names entered [as] having taken out such and such a book for fear the agents of other firms should be able to trace the kind of research they are likely to be undertaking.
Thanks a lot:)

If you name is entered in a record, "as" tells you what it was entered for.
Your name is entered in the register as a high school student.
Your name is entered in police records as having stolen your neigbour's bike.

"As" is used as "with" in this case.
"...they are unwilling to have their names entered with having taken out such and such a book...
Another way of stating this would be:
"...they are unwilling to have their names entered stating that they had taken out such and such a book.."
