Event: Information Ethics Town Hall Meeting

The Rocky Mountain Chapter of the Special Libraries Association (RMSLA) invites you to attend an Information Ethics Town Hall Meeting

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Special librarians are the best knowledge managers of Information Ethics in their organizations. Whether a matter of database integrity, copyright, records management or privacy, we possess the professional expertise to stay on top of these issues. SLA is undergoing a year-long conversation on Information Ethics in order to help craft official guidelines for the association and for future efforts to promote the value of our profession to a wider audience. At this Town Hall Meeting we’ll be looking for anecdotes, stories and examples of information ethics in practice (or not in practice) at your library or organization. The event will start off with a presentation by Kathleen Rainwater on ethics followed by what promises to be a lively and interactive session. Kathleen, our chapter’s Ethics Ambassador, will summarize our findings to share in a report back to headquarters. This is just the start of an important effort on behalf of our association.
