During the past ten years, there has been an explosive growth in research and publications on information ethics. An increasing number of institutions of higher education have begun including information ethics in curricula of LIS, IS, IT and CS programs.
You are an information professional, so what do ethics have to do with you?
Learn the answer to this question and more in a special presentation by Martha (Marti) Montague Smith, author of "Information Ethics," a chapter in the newly-published Annual Review of Information Science and Technology (ARIST), Volume 32, 1997. Smith is an Assistant Professor with the IU School of Library and Information Science, on the campus of IUPUI.
