Information Ethics Part I |
 |
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.
While participants are encouraged to take both sessions (Session 1: Introduction to Information Ethics, Libraries, and Professional Ethics and Session 2: Issues in Information Ethics), they can be taken individually. Session 1 will enable information professionals to understand a basic philosophical approach to information ethics and professional ethics as they pertain to the information professions; in addition, participants will be introduced to codes of ethics and ethical decision making. Session 2 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.
