(Apologies for cross-posting) Hi All, Just a note to let you all know about a new book that has just recently been published by Chandos Publishing that may be of interest to some of you. A Handbook of Ethical Practice: A Practical Guide to Dealing With Ethical Issues in Information and Library Work is written by David McMenemy, Alan Poulter and Paul F. Burton of the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow. Full details are available here: http://www.chandospublishing.com/catalogue/record_detail.php?recordID=118 The text is aimed at both students of library and information studies and practitioners. The focus is on a discussion of the ethical issues facing library and information professionals, and a significant component is devoted to the use of case studies to aid understanding of the issues. Topics include ethical codes, intellectual property issues, freedom of access, acceptable use, and ethical management. A full contents list is available at the link above. Thanks for reading!
