Los ensayos giran alrededor de un tema central: la felicidad, la infancia, la pereza, el perdón, la interlocución, el dinero, el amor, la mujer, la belleza, el juego. De la felicidad, tema complejo, se ocupan diversas disciplinas: psicología, filosofía, antropología, sociología, neurofisiología, sin duda otras, y diversas prácticas como la religión. Y es un tema que parece haberse puesto de moda hoy, lo que a la vez podría ser la mejor de las señales o el más inquietante de los síntomas. Algunas marcas comerciales la incluyen en sus enunciados publicitarios, se diseñan encuestas para medir los grados de felicidad de las naciones, y hasta en varias de ellas se busca otorgarle rango de derecho constitucional, o se lo ha hecho ya. Por mi parte, creo en la posibilidad de la felicidad, en la realidad de experiencias genuinamente felices. Es de esa certidumbre de la que partimos y la que nos anima a querer discurrir sobre ella en probable beneficio de otros.

Stephen Almagno’s career as a professor of library science began at the University of Pittsburgh in 1971. In 1990, he became the first professor in the United States to teach an information ethics course in a library and information science program. Almagno’s work in the area of information ethics was recognized at the 2001 “Ethics of Electronic Information in the 21st Century” symposium held at the University of Memphis on October 18–21, 2001, upon the occasion of his retirement from the University of Pittsburgh. The essays in this book were presented at the symposium honoring Almagno. The first section of the book features papers that pay special tribute to Almagno. The second contains papers on library issues and ethics, such as the ethics of electronic information in China and eastern Europe, the organizations that represent information professionals, the ethics of user privacy in the digital library, and ethical implications of e-commerce, to name just a few. The third section covers topical issues, such as Internet plagiarism, ethical hacking and the security justification, social democracy and information media policy, and the ethics of dialogue, among others.
