IFLA Code of Ethics for Librarians and other Information Workers

[Digambar Bhaurao Waghmare]

 Librarians all over the world are well aware of their profession's ethical implications. In more than 60 countries library associations have developed and approved a national code of ethics for librarians. Related professions like archivists and museum professionals do have international codes of ethics. For many years ICA (International Council of Archives) and ICOM (International Council of Museums) have developed, endorsed, and maintained their international codes of ethics for archives and museums respectively, but until now IFLA and librarians did not have a similar document. During 2011 and 2012 a working group from FAIFE drafted and consulted extensively on a draft international code of Ethics for librarians. Hundreds of comments from IFLA Members and Non-Members were received to the draft, and a final version was prepared for the endorsement by the IFLA Governing Board. The IFLA Code of Ethics for Librarians and Other Information Workers was approved endorsed in August 2012. The Code is presented in two versions: a long, comprehensive version, and a shorter version for quick reference. Code of Ethics (long version) Code of Ethics (short version)

Note: : Indai has not Drafted "Professional Codes of Ethics for Librarians".

Can u provide me the ILA(Indian library association) code of ethics

[Digambar Bhaurao Waghmare]

Dear Sir,

Indian library association has not developed code of ethics for librarian 

IASLIC posted following on webpage

Professional Status
 

While the Association consistently strives to improve the standard services in all kinds of libraries, within its scope, systematic efforts are also being made to raise the emoluments and professional status of the library personnel. It brings together the library and information personnel in all kinds of government and non-government organizations. By so doing the IASLIC speaks the professions a whole.        To bring about mutual co-operation and unified action on matters of common interests, IASLIC mooted the idea of forming the Joint Council of Library Associations of India (JOCLAI) especially of those at national level. The JOCLAI meetings take place during the national meets of each IASLIC and ILA. It has formulated a Code of Ethics for the library profession in India.

 

our country has not listed in those  60 country in the world 

Thanks & Regards
