CALL FOR
PAPERS
2nd
Milwaukee Conference on the Ethics of
Information Organization
June 15 -
16, 2012
Milwaukee, WI
Information organization,
like other major functions of the information
professions, faces many ethical challenges. In
our literature, ethical concerns have been
raised with regard to, topics such as, the role
of national and international tools and
standards, provision of subject access to
information, deprofessionalization and
outsourcing, education of professionals, and the
effects of globalization. These issues and many
others like them have serious implications for
quality and equity in information access. The
Information Organization Research Group and the
Center for Information Policy Research of the
School of Information Studies at the University
of Wisconsin-Milwaukee join in presenting this
second conference to address the ethics of
information organization.
Like the first Ethics of
Information Organization conference held in
Milwaukee May 2009, this conference (June 2012)
welcomes papers on ethics and any element of
information organization from cataloging
standards to tagging; subject access;
technology; the profession; cultural, economic,
political, corporate, international,
multicultural and multilingual aspects.
