Description
| Title: | The FBI creates an awareness of librarian ethics: An opinionated historical review |
| Author(s): | Shields, Gerald R. |
| Subject(s): | Librarians --Professional ethics
Ethics Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) |
| Abstract: | Such blatant manipulation of the facts by the FBI seems to point to mere justification for a "fishing expedition" and a cynical awareness that the very idea planted in the public mind that the FBI is watching the use of libraries by individuals will have a chilling effect which can help accomplish a reduction in the use of scientific and technical information. The people gathered together at this conference are here to try and determine if it is within their power to inspire a righting of these wrongs, if there is something in their calling as librarians that can inspire them to action. |
