Book Description
Foreword by Robert Hauptman
As discussions about the roles played by information in economic,political,and social arenas continue to evolve,the need for an intellectual primer on information ethics that also functions as a solid working casebook for LIS students and professionals has never been more urgent. This text,written by a stellar group of ethics scholars and contributors from around the globe,expertly fills that need. Organized into twelve chapters,making it ideal for use by instructors,this volume from editors Burgess and Knox
thoroughly covers principles and concepts in information ethics,as well as the history of ethics in the information professions;
examines human rights,information access,privacy,discourse,intellectual property,censorship,data and cybersecurity ethics,intercultural information ethics,and global digital citizenship and responsibility;
synthesizes the philosophical underpinnings of these key subjects with abundant primary source material to provide historical context along with timely and relevant case studies;
features contributions from John M. Budd,Paul T. Jaeger,Rachel Fischer,Margaret Zimmerman,Kathrine A. Henderson,Peter Darch,Michael Zimmer,and Masooda Bashir,among others; and
offers a special concluding chapter by Amelia Gibson that explores emerging issues in information ethics,including discussions ranging from the ethics of social media and social movements to AI decision making.
This important survey will be a key text for LIS students and an essential reference work for practitioners.
