 FOREWORD

Robert W.Vaagan,
Faculty of Journalism, Library and Information Science,
Oslo University College

Ethical considerations, not least the intellectual freedoms of opinion and expression,

which are reflected both in the core values of EFLA and in the activities of FAIFE, have

long been a concern for librarians and library associations.1 Following the creation of

The Journal of Information Ethics in 1992 it is apparent that LIS research has also

become more attentive to ethics. Thus The Library Bill of Rights of The American

Library Association has been analysed in terms of ethical presuppositions in

utilitarianism, natural rights theory and social contract theory.2 Despite this ethical

awareness only in some countries have library associations or government agencies

formally adopted written codes of ethics or conduct to provide recommended standards

of best practice.

Today as the information age unfolds there are many indications of a growing

need for this type of moral benchmarking. As most of the articles in the present volume

reflect, librarianship and the wider LIS field are facing various challenges where ethical

considerations come into play. A shortlist of potentially divisive issues with ethical

aspects would include globalisation, the digital gap between the information rich and

poor, digital inclusiveness, commercialisation of information versus interactive on-line

public services, privacy, authenticity, confidentiality, trust and confidence in

cyberspace, censorship, copyright, intellectual property rights, grey literature, electronic

filters and the consequences of The General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS).

Moreover, post-September 11, 2001 anti—terrorist legislation in many countries, which

1
is intended to target terrorists, also causes ethical concern that such legislation may

threaten to restrict ordinary citizens' free access to information and freedom of

expression.

The relevance of ethics is becoming more apparent as librarianship and the LIS

field are being reshaped, e.g. inducing several LIS authors over the last years to reaffirm

the traditional values of librarianship as librarians go about their traditionally main task

of cataloguing, preserving and transmitting the human record.3 Yet in the information

age the librarian is increasingly cast as an information specialist. In consequence "ethics

of librarianship" overlaps conceptually with "infoethics", as both the introduction as

well as the contributions from the United Kingdom, Estonia and Iceland in the present

volume all reflect. Based on UNESCO's planned global infoethics code to be launched

in 2003, and the increasing relevance of infoethics, 4 it is reasonable to posit that ethics

(under tables such as ethics of librarianship, LIS ethics, infoethics, cyberethics etc), will

form part of the traffic rules that will apply to what some have metaphorically described

as the global information superhighway of the new millennium.5

On the threshold of the new millenium it causes concern that we may have to

accept information overload (infobogs) and information fatigue ("the IFS syndrome") as

permanent features. 6 Also causing concern is the observation by some LIS authors that

the theme of survival appears repeatedly in the LIS education literature.7 Of course LIS

education cannot be exempted from the current reshaping of the LIS field. While some

see traditional librarianship values as a remedy, others prescribe the acquisition of new

information age skills, converting librarians into "infopreneurs", which raises other

ethical considerations including those of the market place. Many, if not most, of the

articles in the present volume support the view that LIS education should accord greater

importance to ethics. This, it would seem, applies not least to countries which for

2
various reasons lack appropriate codes of ethics or codes of conduct. From this

perspective the contributions from Argentina, South Africa, Uganda are cases in point.

Also interesting are countries with partial solutions like Mexico (a code of ethics but

only for Colegio member librarians with academic degrees) and Norway (a code of

ethics but only for academic and special libraries).

We now see that also mid-career librarians in many cases see a need for

acquiring new skills in moral benchmarking: In Denmark (which lacks a code of

librarianship ethics) a recent study shows that a clear majority of leaders of Danish

public libraries want to gain new skills e.g. in value-based leadership (VBL), such as

ethical accounting.8

The genesis of The Ethics of Librarianship: An International Survey can be

attributed to the 11th Nordic Conference on Information and Documentation in

Reykjavik 30 May - 1 June 2001. In my paper I addressed the issue of ethics in

Norwegian librarianship. The ensuing debate provided me with valuable commentaries

from a number of colleagues. This prompted me into bringing together colleagues from

different countries to compile an international survey on ethics in librarianship. As

further discussed in my article, the book evolved parallel with my work chairing a

committee set up by the Norwegian National Office for Research Documentation,

Academic and Special Libraries, to formulate recommended ethical guidelines for

member libraries, a task completed in March 2002.

Whereas the FAIFE Website currently lists the ethical codes of selected national

library associations, there is a need for commentary and analysis of individual country

cases, both those listed by FAIFE and others. The present volume is designed to fill that

need: 12 countries with codes are included (Canada, Costa Rica, Estonia, Finland,

Iceland, Japan, Lithuania, Russia, Sweden, Thailand, UK and the USA) as well as 3

without codes (Argentina, South Africa and Uganda) plus Mexico and Norway with

their partial solutions. The 18 contributions (including the introduction which also sheds

light on the situation in Australia) are all by experienced practitioners and academics

representing all hemispheres. Most of the articles are by single authors but two articles

(Mexico and Uganda) have been written jointly by two co-authors while one article

(Russia) consists of two distinct contributions. In some articles where existing codes are

either new, little known or not included in the FAEFE list, the codes have been included

in the articles. This is the case with e.g. Costa Rica, Estonia, Lithuania, Norway, Russia

and Thailand.

Many of the potentially divisive issues shortlisted initially are discussed in the

articles. Save for the introduction where FAIFE Chairman Alex Byrne has had a free

hand, it was suggested to the authors that they concentrate their reflections on the

unifying themes of historical background, library structure and organizational

considerations, constitutional and legal aspects, why codes of librarian ethics or codes

of conduct have (or have not) been adopted, the impact of the information age on

libraries and finally research and/or reflections on the impact which the codes (if any)

are perceived to have had on library activity.

As will be seen the contributions vary in content and detail, and each contributor

has weighted the assigned issues as well as other topics somewhat differently,

dependent on the author's interests, field of expertise and the regional/local context.

While all articles deal with the historical development of libraries and the issue of

librarianship ethics, some contributions are more marked by a troubled political past

combined with a fresh enthusiasm for the future. Such, in my view, are the articles from

Russia, Lithuania, Estonia and South Africa. Yet the future contains ethically difficult

issues, as the introduction notes, and which the Canadian contribution links to post-

4
September 11, 2001 developments such as freedom of expression for employee speech

in the workplace.

Compared with the medical profession's Hippocratic oath all professional ethical

codes are relatively recent phenomena. This view is bome out in all the articles. With

the exception of the American Library Association which published its first Code of

Ethics for Librarians in 1938, the codes discussed in the present volume were adopted in

their first versions in the latter half of the 20th century: Canada (1966), Costa Rica

(1974), Estonia (2001), Finland (1989), Iceland (1996), Japan (1980), Lithuania (1999),

Russia (1999), Sweden (1997), Thailand (1977), United Kingdom (1983). An

interesting observation is that the early creation of a national library association has

been no guarantee for the early adoption of codes of ethics: As discussed in the articles

from Japan and the United Kingdom, the first Japanese and British library associations

were established in 1892 and 1877, respectively. Both countries waited approximately

100 years before they adopted ethical codes. Norway, whose first library association can

be dated back to 1910, adopted recommended ethical guidelines in 2002, but only for

academic and special libraries.

The development and structure of public libraries, academic and special libraries

and school libraries are well brought out in many articles. Most articles proceed from

the assumption that librarianship is a profession, although this point remains open to

some discussion,9 as e.g. the Swedish article discusses. The paper from the United

Kingdom shows that both the profession and its ethics may alter when two previously

distinct organizations merge, as in the case of the British Chartered Institute of Library

and Information Professionals. Library associations and trade unions are the focus in the

Swedish contribution, whereas the American contribution has a comparative perspective

in its discussion of ethical codes in a broad range of library and information

5
organizations. Constitutional provision of the freedom of expression is taken for granted

in many countries but the legalities are sometimes complex as the Argentinian article

reflects.

The various steps in the process of developing a code of ethics are highlighted in

several articles, e.g. the British, Canadian, Finnish and Thai contributions. Perhaps

equally interesting are the processes that underlie the lack of codes (at least so far) in

Argentina, Mexico, South Africa, Uganda and partly Norway. The impact of the

information age on libraries and society is dealt with by all articles, and as will be seen

also explains why there are two distinct Russian contributions. But not all articles

identify, as does the one from Costa Rica, the digital gap as the primary ethical

challenge in the face of globalisation. In terms of research all articles include references

to relevant literature, which will be useful for further studies of individual countries. As

for the impact which the codes (if any) are perceived to have had on library activity,

each article, in my view, tells a unique story, and confirms the increasing relevance of

ethics in librarianship and in the wider LIS field.

I would like to express my thanks to all my colleagues and friends who have

contributed to this book. Their professionalism not only considerably simplified my task

as editor but helped bring together what we all see as a valuable, combined statement on

the growing relevance of ethics to librarianship and LIS. M y only regret is that for

practical reasons more countries could not be brought in. I hope the book will prove

valuable for college and university level students and teachers of librarianship and

information science, as well as for information professionals. I am particularly honoured

that the chairman of FAIFE, Mr. Alex Byrne, University of Technology, Sydney,

Australia, has contributed on behalf of FAIFE an introduction to the book

 INTRODUCTION

INFORMATION ETHICS FOR A NEW MILLENIUM

Alex Byrne,
Chairman, FAIFE

It is a privilege to introduce this important collection of papers on professional ethics

for library and information services. This work brings together papers from many

countries reflecting both the diversity and commonality of our professional concerns

and our responses to their ethical dimensions. Common bonds of professionalism

unite us in dealing with the challenges of a troubled world. Most dramatically in the

past year, of course, was the destruction of the twin towers of the World Trade Centre

and its consequences. But professional challenges for the year also included

initiatives to rebuild and strengthen the libraries of countries ravaged by conflict,

continuing pressure to censor the Internet in many states and measures to muzzle

access to information in too many countries. The overarching concern remains

information inequality, the 'digital divide', the gross and growing inequality in access

to information for the inhabitants of rich and poor states and for rich and poor within

states.

All of these issues pose ethical conundrums for those of us who deliver library and

information services. We need to draw on our professional traditions, our moral

sensibilities and our commitments to the welfare of society in seeking to respond with

wisdom and compassion. Whether a school librarian trying to help a troubled

teenager or a documentalist dealing with records relating to the disposal of toxic

8
wastes, each of us needs to confront and deal with difficult dilemmas. We hope we

are able to resolve those challenges to the benefit of both the people who are

immediately involved and the wider community.

In the long and noble tradition of library and information work, we have maintained a

commitment to conserve the records of human enquiry and imagination. In doing this

we recognise and celebrate the interconnectedness of knowledge which transcends

natural and national borders, lifetimes, and the tenures of kings and governments.

Since the invention of the public library in the middle of the nineteenth century and

the diversification of libraries into so many types and models, we have increasingly

endeavoured to extend our services to the whole community. Sometimes we serve

the residents of a region or country, sometimes the members or clients of an

organisation or institution. In all cases we are professionally obliged to work to meet

their needs as well as possible and in a disinterested spirit.

The recognition of librarianship and other occupations as professions during the

nineteenth and twentieth centuries highlighted certain key characteristics including a

shared body of knowledge, a commitment to service to society and an agreed ethical

foundation [1], It later became important to codify the ethical expectations of

members of the profession, to develop an ethical framework which would be

appropriate to the field. Such expectations began to be expressed in terms of codes of

ethics which have moral force over the members of the profession. A code binds its

members to do good, or at least avoid doing harm, in the practice of the profession. It

might be enforced through legal or quasi-legal sanctions, although that is unusual in

library and information services.
