Grey Literature and Information Ethics: Key Shared Concerns

The first in this series is a workshop organized by InfoEthics UK in collaboration with GreyNet International and will be held in Oxford, England on 6 September 2012.

Grey literature and information ethics are two fundamental aspects of LIS professional practice in the digital information economy - yet both are still poorly understood and often marginalized. Ignoring the critical role of ethical decision-making puts your organization at risk. Key areas of shared concern include: ● peer review ● digital preservation ● privacy ● standardization ● validation and ● equitable pricing.

These and other topics will be addressed in a Workshop presented by leading practitioners in their field on 6 September 2012 at St Hilda’s College, Oxford
