Abstract
"This Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct is offered as a series of ethical propositions for the guidance of individual librarians as well as other information workers, and for the consideration of Library and Information Associations when creating or revising their own codes. The function of codes of ethics can be described as: encouraging reflection on principles on which librarians and other information workers can form policies and handle dilemmas, improving professional self-awareness, providing transparency to users and society in general."
