**Information organization (IO) faces many ethical challenges which demand
our attention. The IO literature raises ethical issues concerning the role
of national and international IO standards, provision of appropriate
subject access, deprofessionalization of IO work, education of IO
professionals, and the effects of globalization. These issues, and others
like them, have serious implications for quality and equity in information
access. The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee School of Information Studies
and its Information Organization Research Group and Center for Information
Policy Research are joined by Milwaukee Public Library, Marquette
University Raynor Memorial Libraries and UWM Libraries in presenting this
conference to address the ethics of information organization.

Presentations will address the ethics of a wide range of topics:
• Classification theory
• Indigenous knowledge organization
• Consultants' attitudes toward and corporate roles in cataloging
• Metadata standards and practices
• Archival representation
• Addressing the shortcoming of subject access
• Representations of marginalized groups and topics
• Catalogers' objectives and responsibilities
• Concepts for education and research
• Where we are now
• and more
