Health, Law, Business, and Ethical Reference Services Sources

In health, law, and business libraries there is sensitive information to be found within their holdings. It is important to be discreet when helping patrons find information in these situations. A patron may need to find sensitive information for themselves, and may be concerned about others finding out. 

Below are some resources for Health, Law, Business, and Ethical Reference information needs:
  • Fallis, Don. “Information Ethics for Twenty-First Century Library Professionals.” Library Hi Tech 25 (2007): 23-36. [Electronic Journals]
  • ALA. Code of Ethics. Jan. 2008. http://www.ala.org/ala/issuesadvocacy/proethics/codeofethics/codeethics.cfm
  • Lenker, M. (2008). Dangerous questions at the reference desk: A virtue ethics approach. Journal of Information Ethics, 17(1), 43-53.
  • Neuhaus, P. (2003). Privacy and Confidentiality in Digital Reference. Reference & User Services Quarterly43(1), 26–36
