[InetBib] Fwd: [IFLA-L] IFLA Satellite Meeting 14-15 August 2014 on Information ethics: Registration is open!

[Hermann Roesch <Hermann.Roesch@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen,

am 14./15. August 2014 findet in Genf eine internationale Konferenz zur 
bibliothekarischen Berufsethik statt unter dem Titel "Ethical Dilemmas 
in the Information Society. How Codes of Ethics Help to Find Ethically 
Based Solutions." Veranstalter sind das IFLA Komitee FAIFE und 
Globethics. Nähere Informationen und Hinweise zur Registrierung finden 
Sie unten.
Es wäre schön, wenn es möglichst viele deutsche Teilnehmerinnen und 
Teilnehmer gäbe und der Eindruck so widerlegt würde, deutsche 
Bibliothekarinnen und Bibliothekare hätten nur ein höchst verhaltenes 
Interesse an ethischen Fragen.

Beste Grüße
Hermann Rösch

Librarians, archivists and other information workers all over the world 
are quite aware of their profession's ethical implications. Archivists 
have already published their international code in 1996 (the ICA Code of 
Deontology). On the library side, despite the fact that in more than 70 
countries library associations have developed and approved a national 
code of ethics for librarians, there was no international code until 
August 2012, when the Governing Board of IFLA approved the new IFLA Code 
of Ethics for Librarians and Other Information Workers. The drafting and 
discussion of the code has been organised by IFLA's FAIFE Committee. 
Globethics.net Foundation based in Geneva took part in its elaboration.


Although the international Code has now been launched and accepted as an 
official policy of IFLA, the FAIFE Committee considers that the work 
should continue, because a code of ethics must be a living document and 
because ways have to be found to implement ethics and ethical reflection 
more deeply in the day-to-day work in libraries and archives. This is 
the intention behind the Conference on “ Ethical Dilemmas in the 
Information Society: How Codes of Ethics Help to Find Ethically Based 
Solutions” being organised from 14-15 August 2014 in Geneva/Switzerland, 
to discuss ethical dilemmas and to use the Code as an incentive to bring 
ethical issues more prominently in the professional and public debates.


The Conference will be held in a convenient and welcoming venue and will 
give participants ideal conditions to meet, to concentrate and to enter 
into a living, rich and open debate.
