Which of the following are important ethical considerations for librarian ?
(i) Intellectual freedom
(ii) Patron privacy
(iii) Collection weeding
(iv) Marketing strategies
Codes :
Answer: D
The answer is (i) and (ii) are correct: intellectual freedom and patron privacy.
Library codes of ethics, such as those of the ALA and IFLA, centre on the right of users to seek and receive information without censorship (intellectual freedom) and on protecting the confidentiality of what users read and ask (privacy).
Weeding is a routine collection-management task, and marketing is a management activity; neither is an ethical principle in itself.
