Ethics as reflection on morality is widely accepted among philosophers beginning with Aristotle, the founder of ethics as an academic discipline. As Rafael Capurro (2008), who heads the International Center for Information Ethics (ICIE), reminds us:
As a self-referential process ethics is an unending quest on explicit and implicit use of the moral code, that is to say of respect or disrespect, with regard to individual and social communication. In other words, ethics observes the ways we communicate with each other as moral persons and the ways this moral identity is understood. There is, indeed, no unbiased ethical observer. (p. 21)
Ethical issues have been addressed in libraries and other cultural institutions, corporations, nonprofit institutions, academia, government agencies at all levels, library and information science research, and in the media. (e.g., Froehlich, 1992, 2004; Hauptman, 1988; Smith, 1997; Woodward, 1990a, 1990b, 1990c). Increasingly, questions more specifically related to information throughout its life cycle have been within the Information Science and Technology discipline and practice and within organizations and institutions of all types. Terminology used includes ethics in librarianship, ethics and computers, technology and ethics, and other similar terms. Since the late 1980s, it was often referred to as the ethics of information in society. Since the first appearance of the term in 1988, this topic more commonly has been referred to as Information Ethics (IE). Robert Hauptman (1988) used the term in the first chapter of Ethical Challenges in Librarianship, which is the first use in English. In contrasting the moral standpoints of professional neutrality and social responsibility with regard to the provision of information and its use, Hauptman referred to “the dynamic and complex area of information ethics” (p. 3). In German, the first use was in Rafael Capurro's (1988) article entitled Informationsethos und informationsethik—Gedankenzum verantwortungsvollen handeln im bereich der fachinformation [Information ethos and information ethics—Ideas to take responsible action in the field of information]. Capurro (1988) challenged information professionals to take responsibility and action for information policy in professional and public settings. He saw IE as the appropriate term for the contemporary information ethos or environment. The third appeared in the criminal justice literature (DeMaio, 1988).

A more extended definition of IE includes concern with the moral dilemmas and ethical conflicts that arise in interactions between human beings and information (creation, organization, dissemination, and use), information and communications technologies (ICTs), and information systems. Analogous to medical ethics, bioethics and also environmental ethics, described most broadly as the ethics of living, biological, or natural systems, IE in the last 2 years has been converging with bioethics through the discipline of medical information into a new field called bioinfoethics. Questions about the information content of the Human Genome Project and other genetics initiatives map to some of the major themes established by IE (e.g., transparency, ownership and integrity of intellectual property, indigenous knowledge and other cultural issues, balancing privacy of personally identifiable information with security, and freedom of expression).
The history and the professional and scholarly literature of IE ethics in its first 20 years parallel and are increasingly intertwined with library ethics; information systems ethics; computer ethics; cyberethics; journalism, communication, and media ethics; image ethics; Internet ethics; and Web ethics. Each of these areas of applied ethics shares roots and relationships with the others and with a wide variety of fields, including engineering ethics and business ethics. Because of the broad and diverse use of terms relating to information as a phenomenon, the term Information Ethics will likely continue to subsume other terminology such as reference ethics, archiving ethics, and networking ethics. The divisions of academic discourse are of interest to those who study scholarly communication, knowledge creation, and the social epistemology of applied ethics.

In 1989, “Information Ethics” appeared in programs of conferences sponsored by two graduate schools of library and information science. “Information Ethics: Concerns for Librarianship and the Information Industry” was the theme of the April conference at Rutgers University (Mintz, 1990). The second appearance of the term was in the title of the keynote address of Clifford Christians delivered in October at the Allerton Park Institute on Ethics and the Librarian (Lancaster, 1991). Christians, a professor of communications, offered a similar call to that of Capurro (1988) for professional initiative. Christians, in his keynote address entitled Information Ethics in a Complicated Age, followed the thought of Jacques Ellul (1964), a long-time critic of technology. Christians urged serious consideration of strict ethical norms to constrain the impact of information technologies. Christians, in contrast to Capurro, was not very optimistic about the capacity of human beings to restrain the negative effects of technology. Thus, developing IE as a strong moral force is essential if professionals are to be guided themselves and to influence public policy. He saw IE as the appropriate term for the contemporary information ethos or environment. The third appearance of the term appeared in the criminal justice literature (DeMaio, 1988).

Although the term IE was not used, on January 26, 1989, the University of Pittsburgh initiated the Dean's Forum on Information Ethics. Presented by the Reverend Robert Drinan, S.J. Professor of Law and faculty advisor to the Georgetown Journal of Legal Ethics, and former U.S. Representative from Massachusetts, the lecture “The Ethics of Information in Society,” helped provide the basis for the course the School of Information Sciences (then School of Library and Information Science) had decided to introduce. The forum continued with a series of experts such as John Leo (of the University of Rhode Island, who spoke on Robert Mapplethorpe), Pamela Samuelson (then professor of Law at the University of Pittsburgh, who questioned: “Who Owns Information?”), Martin Walker (then U.S. Bureau Chief of The Guardian, who spoke on “Ethics and the Media”), and Rafael Capurro in 2006. The forum has attracted a diverse audience from the larger academic community and has continued to shape the course.

In Fall 1990, a master's course for students across the School of Information Sciences at the University of Pittsburgh was introduced, team taught by Professor Stephen Almagno, O.F.M., and Carbo (then Dean of the School), initially called “The Ethics of Information in Society,” to educate students about ethical issues in the information professions. Over the years as the course has evolved, it has attracted students from all three programs at both the master's and Ph.D. levels (with some undergraduate seniors) as well as students from business, law, psychology, engineering, public and international affairs, and other programs, and a few students from Carnegie Mellon University. A small number of other universities, including Drexel, introduced courses specifically on what became “Information Ethics” around that time. According to the listing on the ICIE Web site (http://icie.zkm.de/teaching), currently more than 100 individuals are teaching IE courses around the world, with some individuals teaching courses in more than one country and with 35 in North America.

In addition to the conferences noted earlier, beginning in 1997, conferences on the “Ethics of Electronic Information in the 21st Century” were held at the University of Memphis (e.g., Mendina, 2000; Rockenbach & Mendina, 2003). The subject of IE also has gained international interest, as demonstrated by recent activities starting with the first UNESCO Conference of InfoEthics in 1997 entitled “First International Congress on Ethical, Legal and Societal Aspects of Digital Information.” In 2003, an invitational conference was held in Karlsruhe, Germany in 2004, under the leadership of the ICIE with support from Volkswagen-Stiftung. The World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS, 2003) developed the “Declaration of Principles: Building the Information Society: A Global Challenge in the New Millennium,” and in February 2007, the “First African Conference on Information Ethics” was held in South Africa. Building on the 2007 conference, UNESCO and the South African government will support a training workshop on IE and E-Government in sub-Saharan Africa to be held in August 2008.

By 1992, the first journal appeared. In describing the scope of the journal, Hauptman (1992) said:
The Journal of Information Ethics deals with ethics in all areas of information or knowledge production and dissemination. This includes, but is not limited to, library and information science, education for these professions, technology, government publication and legislation, graphic display, computer security, database management, disinformation, peer review, privacy, censorship, cyberspace, and information liability approached from sociological, philosophical, theoretical, and applied perspectives. (p. 00)
From the beginning, the Journal of Information Ethics has been broad in its scope. The articles in the first issue covered a wide variety of subjects, including AIDS testing, online education, erotic and pornographic literature, and the firing of Will Manley from the Wilson Library Bulletin by its publishers, gifts to libraries, and data theft. In his first editorial, Hauptman (1992) spoke of the “ethical necessities” posed by information that go far beyond the library and information profession.
The International Review of Information Ethics (IRIE), formerly the International Journal of Information Ethics (renamed due to a similarity of names with the Journal of Information Ethics), is the official scholarly publication of ICIE and was first published in 2004. It envisions an international as well as intercultural discussion focusing on the ethical impacts of information technology on human practices and thinking, social interaction, other areas of science and research, and the society itself.
IE, as understood here, deals with ethical questions in the field of digital production and reproduction of phenomena and processes such as the exchange, combination, and use of information. Maintaining a broad focus on the corresponding ethical issues and being open for the fast developments in the field, the IRIE is particularly devoted to ethical questions of all kinds of digital devices affecting through their code and/or content social interaction.
There are now several other journals in the IE field, including Ethics and Information Technology, the International Journal of Technology and Human Interaction, and ICES: Journal of Information, Communication and Ethics in Society, and the IJIRE: International Journal of Internet Research Ethics (in http://www.uwm.edu/Dept/SOIS/cipu/ijire/index/html). A complete list appears on the ICIE Web site (http://icie.zkm.de/publications/journals).

As is often the case with Perspectives sections of the Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology, this one was years in the making, beginning with an initial approach to Martha Smith to edit a section and her approach to Toni Carbo to co-edit; through a series of discussions to shape the content, a call for papers, and invitations to selected authors; through review of articles; to the determination of which articles should be included, with revisions of several of them; to the final set of articles included in this issue. The editorial process and the waiting period for space in an issue add time to the final appearance in an issue. The editors are grateful to the authors for their fine articles and for their patience with getting this Perspectives in print, and to the Perspectives Editor, Lois Lunin, for her editorial work. We also extend our thanks to Jeffrey Neher and David Perrotta for their assistance with the compilation and formatting of the bibliography.
This Perspectives on Global Information Ethics includes six articles as well as a bibliography of publications used in teaching IE. The distinguished authors include scholars from both coasts of the United States, South Africa, Macau, the United Kingdom, and Germany (originally from Uruguay). In her thoughtful article entitled The Problems of Information Naïveté, Roberta Brody (Associate Professor at the Graduate School of Library and Information Studies, Queens College, City University of New York) addresses the fundamental difference between to know of and to know about. She considers information naïveté as “a condition that may be no more than process involved in producing an artifact”, noting that dilemmas that arise from it seem to be situated in the realm of applied ethics. Probing beyond the basic understanding of it as “nothing more than ignorance in or carelessness in the handling of ‘second hand knowledge’”, she addresses the concepts of media bias, possessive memory, limited contexts, limited abilities, information deficits and competence, and information failure. While one may well quibble with her focus on information as consumable, her argument that databases should come packaged with warning labels about adverse effects and other cautions, similar to labels on drugs, are sound. Her argument that codes of ethics in the information industry should demand competence, authenticity, or even the absence of harm from the creators of information demands our attention. Perhaps a future ASIS&T conference could bring together representatives from the information industry with information professionals from academia and not-for-profit institutions to address the need for the producers, disseminators, and aggregators of information to “be less information naïve; to be more questioning, less arrogant, less possessed by the memories of past market conditions”.
In strong contrast to the producers, disseminators, and aggregators referred to by Brody are the highly information literate archivists and records managers. Richard Cox, a leading international archival educator and scholar, addresses archival ethics using a case study of a political poster on the cover of the American Archivist. He provides background on archival ethics, including applied concepts in both ethics and accountability, and discusses corporate archives and the ethical quest, noting that codes of ethics “can become useless in the corporate environment that has spun out of control”. Little has been written in the business archives or records management literature addressing the topics of corporate ethics and social responsibility, and this area deserves much more research and attention. The case study of the political poster, called “Sun Mad” as a parody of the Sun Maid corporation, provides an excellent example to question ethical reasoning concerning matters that offend individuals and organizations and the responses of individuals, organizations, and corporations to these challenges. Citing his personal experience in writing a letter and the responses to it, he uses a case to address ethical issues related to professional self-censorship, questions of how corporations administer records to provide a positive image, and manipulation of documentary heritage. Cox also raises the bigger question of what archivists and records managers—and one might add all information professionals—will do to address these important questions.
Providing a very different perspective, G.M. Reed from the International Institute for Software Technology at the U.N. University in Macau and J.W. Sanders from the Programming Research Group and Information Ethics Group at the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom address the principle of distribution, a normative principle for the behavior of contemporary computing ad communication systems. This principle argues that in a distributed multi-agent system, control resides as much as possible with the individuals constituting the system rather than in centralized agents. When this is unfeasible or it becomes inappropriate due to environmental changes, control moves upwards to an appropriate intermediate level instead of being imposed from above. The authors developed their original principle, first called the principle of distributed ethics, in response to a proposal by Elisabeth Porter for ethical strategies for human security. They contend that problems in computer ethics arise from a policy vacuum concerning the use of new technology and that the standard normative ethical principles are incomplete for reasoning about such problems. Using a series of examples, including spam, they provide evidence that the richness of the principle of distribution derives from the fact that it can be applied at many levels of abstraction, the level being determined by the kind of analysis sought. The examples they give for applying the principle to issues of mobile user ability to generate spontaneously a secure network, an open-source software provision, and a response to adversity provide evidence of the use of the principle to resolve a series of issues. The principle deserves greater attention and testing in global situations, and is a promising area for future research.
Kenneth Himma from the Department of Philosophy at Seattle Pacific University provides insight into several contemporary philosophical disputes related to the justification of intellectual property (IP). He questions whether the state is morally justified in affording content creators a legal right to exclude others from the content of their creations. He provides an in-depth overview and analysis of the complex issues and arguments on all sides of the IP debate. Beginning with a thoughtful discussion in response to the question of whether IP is really property, he presents arguments against and for IP protection, identifying the special character of intellectual entities and the social character of intellectual content, and addressing concepts such as “information should be free,” the information commons, and the value of free expression. Himma presents several arguments from investment, including the classical Lockean argument for original acquisition of property, realizing that the existence of a moral right to property depends critically on the idea that persons can acquire a property right in objects to which no one else has a prior moral claim or entitlement. Transfer to someone else is justified on the strength of autonomy considerations. He also presents what he calls the personality argument based on the idea that an individual enjoys an exclusive moral claim to the acts and content of his or her personality. An individual's personality is understood to include a variety of character traits, experiences, preferences, knowledge, and dispositions. He identifies the shortcoming in arguments against IP protection as the fact that none pays sufficient attention to the issue of whether authors have a morally protected interest in the contents of their creations. In arguments for IP protection, he contends that a shortcoming is the short shrift they give to the issue of whether people have a morally protected interest in the content created by others. Both the interests of the authors and of other persons are relevant. Drawing thoughtfully on the different views and perspectives, he discusses ways to balance the interests of authors and others, including the interests of authors in their time and labor, interests of other persons, and ways to weigh the interests. Using the “ends not justifying the means” argument, he reminds us that while the interests of authors in their creations should be protected by law as a matter of political morality, this should not imply that the content of any specific body of IP is morally justified. The state is not given carte blanche to do whatever it wants to protect a legitimate moral interest. His survey and evaluation of diverse arguments for and against IP protection conclude that some IP protection is morally legitimate and that some stringent laws providing limited control over the disposition of intellectual creations are justified.
Complementing the articles on specific issue areas in IE presented in the first four articles (i.e., information naïveté, whistle-blowing over manipulation of records and limits on freedom of expression, the principle of distribution, and intellectual property), the final two articles discuss IE for and from Africa and global social justice. Note that the paper on Africa is written by an internationally renowned scholar who was born in Uruguay and has lived and worked for many years in Germany, where he heads the International Center for Information Ethics at Stuttgart Media University. The article on global social justice is written by an Afrikaner (based on his dissertation at the University of Pretoria, South Africa) who lives in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he is Dean and Professor of the School of Information Studies, University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee. Capurro's article, based on a keynote address he presented at the first African Information Ethics Conference February 5–7, 2007, in Pretoria, South Africa, provides a comprehensive overview of IE research in and about Africa and of the Conference. Drawing on literature on African oral and written traditions of philosophy, he refers to several African philosophical and ethical perspectives, including ubuntu (i.e., the principles of sharing and caring for one another), conceptual decolonization, and common aphorisms. According to Capurro, two aphorisms that are found in almost all indigenous African languages translate to “to be human is to affirm one's humanity by recognizing the humanity of other and, on that basis, establish humane respectful relations with them,” and “if and when one is faced with a decisive choice between wealth and the preservation of life of another human being, then one should opt for the preservation of life” (p. 00). Of course, these are very similar to tenets of many religions, the U.N. Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and long-standing moral principles. To conclude his detailed overview, Capurro reminds us that “the final goal of ethics is not just to speak about the good but to do the good, and, we could add, to dream about it” (p. 00).
This Perspectives section ends with a global perspective on social justice in the global information society by Johannes Britz. Discussing social justice as a moral norm that can be used to address the ethical challenges facing the global information society, Britz cites the WSIS Declaration of Principles, focusing on three: (a) the need to uphold the fundamental values of human freedom, (b) the need to respect human rights, and (c) the requirement that there should be no abusive use of modern Information and Communications Technologies (ICT).
Britz contends that we do not live in a totally new information society but rather in a continuation of previous relationships, but that ICTs have changed the nature of these relationships and have affected our socioeconomic and political activities. He also argues that ICTs have transformed information and knowledge landscapes as well as the ethical and socioeconomic landscape. He defines four criteria for a global information society: (a) a well-developed, well-maintained, and affordable ICT infrastructure; (b) the need for ICT to provide access to content for participating meaningfully in all activities of the information society; (c) physical delivery of goods and services, not just information about them; and (d) human intellectual capability, including educational infrastructure and research and development. Britz identifies several moral “wrongs” of the information society, such as brain drain, unfair exploitation and misappropriation of indigenous knowledge and artifacts, and so on. He presents well-supported arguments for the need for a moral consensus that is in some sense universally acceptable, beginning with agreement by all bodies and role players involved in addressing ethical concerns. This moral foundation is justice, which is inclusive and morally acceptable. He enumerates and describes basic principles of justice: equitable treatment and judgment using the same norms for all people; each person gets that which is due to him or her, what each deserves whether good or bad; and inequality, when it must exist, must be based on certain norms and may not be at the expense of the equal value of all people. He describes several categories of justice related to these principles and concludes with an emphasis on the fact that one cannot distinguish between domestic and global justice.
A bibliography of materials used in teaching IE over nearly 20 years by the two coeditors completes this Perspectives section. The bibliography is not intended to be comprehensive but instead is a collection of material that is relevant and illustrative of issues of IE in a wide variety of areas, and is only a slice of a much larger body of work. It is offered as a point of departure for those teaching IE. This Perspectives section was prepared to provide a sample of the range of research and development under way around the world and to encourage further research, discussion, and debate on this crucial topic for Information Science and for the Global Information Society.

Introduction
The following bibliography, although it consists of well over 400 entries, is not by any means a comprehensive list of Information Ethics (IE) sources. Rather, it reflects the materials used by Toni Carbo and Martha Smith in our graduate-level teaching of IE over the years. Jeffrey Neher and David Perrotta, both MLIS students at the University of Pittsburgh School of Information Sciences, provided substantive assistance in formatting the bibliography and identifying potential additions to it. Some recent items have been added to the list because they will be used in the teaching of IE in the next academic year. Although we have tried to assemble a collection of material that is relevant and illustrative of issues of IE in a wide variety of areas, the result of our efforts is still only a slice of a much larger body of work. It is offered here as a point of departure, particularly for those interested in teaching IE, and not as an authoritative or comprehensive bibliography. A much more comprehensive bibliography is available at the Web site of the International Center for Information Ethics (http://icie.zkm.de).
