Information Ethics

Part II
Issues in Information Ethics

August 23, 2005
2:00 pm - 3:30 pm ET

Description
Information professionals are facing tremendous ethical challenges in the 
workplace. From first amendment and privacy issues to the Patriot Act, to 
new copyright laws and licensing agreements, information ethics is fast 
becoming a critical area of attention for all LIS professionals. Armed with 
an understanding of basic information ethics theories and practical 
professional ethics skills, information professionals will be better poised 
to handle ethical dilemmas when they arise in their library or information 
center.

Session 2: Issues in Information Ethics, will introduce specific ethical 
issues facing the profession today, and will include a significant 
discussion component so that participants can hear of ethical challenges 
and issues and how their peers are handling them. A diversity of special 
libraries and information setting issues will be discussed among the 
participants.
