- The Librarian's Duty of Care: Emerging Professionalism or Can of Worms? Ferguson, Stuart Weckert, John Accountability Case Studies Codes of Ethics Contracts Debate Information Scientists Legal Responsibility Librarians Professional Associations Examines case studies highlighting accountability, and relates accountability to concepts of responsibility and duty of care. Presents arguments against holding librarians accountable for misinformation, namely, the lack of contract between librarian and patron and the distinction drawn between information intermediaries (librarians) and knowledge workers (lawyers and accountants). Discusses existing codes of ethics and their appropriateness to associations claiming professional status. (PEN)
