They are just a set of standards to help guide is the ethical direction when making choices in our libraries. When our personal bias might push us in a certain direction they help right us. They also help us to "extend our application of moral reasoning to the unfamiliar" territories we may stumble upon throughout a career.

This means not giving information on topics we aren't competent enough to inform on. Ask me about a video game or anime? I can help! Ask me about Algebra? I can help.. you find a book or a web source!]]> 2018-04-26 00:04:11 UTC https://padlet.com/dana_littleton/3rid8qxnfqsi/wish/255467094 Staying Current dana_littleton https://padlet.com/dana_littleton/3rid8qxnfqsi/wish/255467552 "Reading journals and blogs, attending conferences, webinars, and workshops are common ways of keeping current."

Unless the patron is using the library for potentially threatening purposes, we should keep what we are asked to find or answer private.
