It took two years to prepare the code and to reach professional consensus. The Code was co-issued by the Board of the Association of Hungarian Librarians and the Board of the Federation of Libraries and Information Centres. The materials related to the Code are arranged in a pyramid structure, with the Code itself being on the top. The Code consists of two, closely related parts: the one with Roman numbers can be interpreted as a set of moral commands; they are complemented by a second part of textual explanations. The pyramid's second level is planned to include further codes of ethics pertaining to various bodies, associations, organisations, types of libraries, jobs etc. The third level contains all the explanations, commentaries and additions related to the Code (these materials are published together with the Code, in a summarised form). A bibliography, as the last part (representing the fourth level), provides a list of relevant - published and manuscript - materials having appeared or having been used during the process of editing."engWith permission of the license/copyright holdercode of ethicsprofessional code of ethicscode of conductlibrariansinformationAssociation of Hungarian LibrariansFederation of Libraries and Information CentresEconomic ethicsLabour/professional ethicsCultural ethicsMedia/communication/information ethicsPreprint
