Gariepy Oxford : Chandos, 2007 xxx, 200 p. ; 24 cm. Chandos information professional series Includes bibliographical references and index This is a direct challenge to the notion of library neutrality, especially in the present context of war, revolution, and social change. This book locates library and information workers as participants and interventionists in social conflicts. The strategies for social action worldwide were chosen because of their connection to elements of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) that relate particularly to core library values, information ethics, and global information justice. This book also encourages readers to pay attention to links between library and information work and the following solidarity rights not currently incorporated into any legally-binding human rights framework. The aim is primarily at librarians, archivists, educators and students. Content consists of essential concepts presented in accessible terms (e.g., critical librarianship, information ethics, global information justice, human rights), along with a practical orientation to action on contemporary issues (e.g., intellectual freedom, intellectual property, preservation, cultural destruction, censorship, public access to government information, commercialization, academic freedom, workplace speech, international relations, anonymity, privacy, confidentiality, human security, national security policies, transborder data flow, and information poverty) Human rights Library science Moral and ethical aspects Library science Social aspects Librarians Professional ethics 0 0 lcc 0 0 10000 10000 2019-09-04 245.00 0 Z665 .S26 2007 0000026643 2019-09-04 00:00:00 1 245.00 2019-09-04 OPEN VIRTUA40 35081 35087 VTLSSORT0080*0200*0201*0400*0900*1000*2450*2600*3000*4400*5040*5200*6500*6501*6502*6503*9991
