Discussion Questions
1 How can library professionals deliver equitable privacy for all cultures within a multicultural society when world events can make governments react negatively to minority cultures and launch invasive abuse of privacy?
2 Lor (2007) maintains the three main ethical principles that should be the focus of all librarians are freedom, equality and inclusion. Do you agree or disagree? What other principles do you think should be a primary focus?
3 As a LIS professional, how can you influence policy making for equitable access to information, at the local, national, and international level?
4 Can you think of examples where governments have tried to gain unbridled access to library patron information (Online or offline)?
