IFLA (International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions)FAIFE (IFLA Committee on Freedom of Access to Information and Freedom of Expression)FAIFE                     Satellite Meeting 2014 in collaboration with                     Globethics.net - 14-15 August 2014, GenevaCALL FOR                       PARTICIPATION  Conference on "Ethical Dilemmas in                       the Information Society: How Codes of Ethics Help to Find                       Ethically Based Solutions" Information                       is at the center of the society in the 21st century. As an information professional, your                       challenges and your thoughts are key to build                       together a better future for the global                       information society. Librarians,                     archivists and other information workers all over                     the world are quite aware of their profession's                     ethical implications. Archivists have already                     published their international code in 1996 (the ICA                     Code of Deontology). On the library side, despite                     the fact that in more than 70 countries library                     associations have developed and approved a national                     code of ethics for librarians, there was no                     international code until August 2012, when the                     Governing Board of IFLA approved the new IFLA Code                     of Ethics for Librarians and Other Information                     Workers. The drafting and discussion of the code has                     been organised by IFLA's FAIFE Committee.                     Globethics.net Foundation based in Geneva took part                     in its elaboration.Although the                     international Code has now been launched and                     accepted as an official policy of IFLA, the FAIFE                     Committee considers that the work should continue,                     because a code of ethics must be a living document                     and because ways have to be found to implement                     ethics and ethical reflection more deeply in the                     day-to-day work in libraries and archives. This is                     the intention behind the Conference on “ Ethical                     Dilemmas in the Information Society: How Codes of                     Ethics Help to Find Ethically Based Solutions” being                     organised from 14-15 August 2014 in                     Geneva/Switzerland, to discuss ethical dilemmas and                     to use the Code as an incentive to bring ethical                     issues more prominently in the professional and                     public debates.The                   Conference will be held in a convenient and welcoming                   venue and will give participants ideal conditions to                   meet, to concentrate and to enter into a living, rich                   and open debate.More information :  http://www.globethics.net/web/ge/conference-ethical-dilemmas-in-the-information-society-&#160;Direct links to :- Programme :  http://www.globethics.net/documents/4289936/14121854/FAIFE_GE_conference_Programme.pdf/a259e57a-8d14-4717-8ff9-7da90c5ae2be- Online registration :  http://www.globethics.net/web/ge/registration-ethical-dilemmas-in-the-information-society (please use Firefox or Internet Explorer)- Accomodation:  http://www.globethics.net/web/ge/accommodation-ethical-dilemmas-in-the-information-society YOUR VOICE                       IS KEY: COME MANY! http://www.globethics.net/web/ge/conference-ethical-dilemmas-in-the-information-society-
