LI801 provided an introduction to the roles of information professionals, the missions of libraries, the basic principles of information ethics, the information life cycle, and the core tenets of the library and information science professions.  Close attention was given to ethical decision-making in the realms of intellectual freedom, privacy, intellectual property, professional ethics, and intercultural information ethics.
