Ethics of Information Organization 
May 22-23, 2009 
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee 
http://www.cipr.uwm.edu/ioethics.html 

Information organization (IO), like other major functions of the   
information profession, faces many ethical challenges. In the IO   
literature, ethical concerns have been raised with regard to, for   
example, the role of national and international IO standards,   
providing subject access to information, deprofessionalization and   
outsourcing of IO, education of IO professionals, and the effects of   
globalization. These issues, and others like them, have serious   
implications for quality and equity in information access. The Center   
for Information Policy Research and the Information Organization   
Research Group at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee join in   
presenting this conference to address the ethics of information   
organization. 

Keynote Speakers: 
* Clare Beghtol, Professor, University of Toronto, Canada 
* José Augusto Chaves Guimarães, Professor, Universidade Estadual   
Paulista, Brazil 
* Janet Swan Hill, Professor, Associate Director for Technical   
Services, University of Colorado at Boulder Libraries, USA
