*CALL FOR PARTICIPATION***

**

*Conference on "Ethical Dilemmas in the Information Society: *

*How Codes of Ethics Help to Find Ethically Based Solutions"*

**

*Information is at the center of the society in the 21st century. As an
information professional, your challenges and your thoughts are key to
build together a better future for the global information society.

Librarians, archivists and other information workers all over the world
are quite aware of their profession's ethical implications. Archivists
have already published their international code in 1996 (the ICA Code of
Deontology). On the library side, despite the fact that in more than 70
countries library associations have developed and approved a national
code of ethics for librarians, there was no international code until
August 2012, when the Governing Board of IFLA approved the new IFLA Code
of Ethics for Librarians and Other Information Workers. The drafting and
discussion of the code has been organised by IFLA's FAIFE Committee.
Globethics.net Foundation based in Geneva took part in its elaboration.


Although the international Code has now been launched and accepted as an
official policy of IFLA, the FAIFE Committee considers that the work
should continue, because a code of ethics must be a living document and
because ways have to be found to implement ethics and ethical reflection
more deeply in the day-to-day work in libraries and archives. This is
the intention behind the Conference on " Ethical Dilemmas in the
Information Society: How Codes of Ethics Help to Find Ethically Based
Solutions" being organised from 14-15 August 2014 in Geneva/Switzerland,
to discuss ethical dilemmas and to use the Code as an incentive to bring
ethical issues more prominently in the professional and public debates.


The Conference will be held in a convenient and welcoming venue and will
give participants ideal conditions to meet, to concentrate and to enter
into a living, rich and open debate.
