This valuable book, written specifically for library and information science professionals, presents 125 case studies that combine theories of ethics and librarianship with practical, real-life scenarios. After an introduction to ethics in library and information science, chapters are devoted to ethical issues in five categories: intellectual freedom, privacy, intellectual property, professional ethics, and intercultural information ethics. Each chapter has a theoretical introduction to the issue under consideration followed by 25 case studies, each of which includes its own set of discussion questions. Perfectly suited to classroom use, these case studies help bridge the complicated gap between students, academics, and practitioners in the field by promoting critical thinking and responsible action.

This story is a gripping account of Katie Henderson's battle and subsequent death from Lupus and the load left on her husband Horace to carry. Katie died at age 39 and left twelve children behind for her 40 year old husband to educate and raise. As part of the story, a defining moment occurs when she gives her personal kerchief to one of her sons to keep prior to her death. This kerchief comes to symbolize the meaning of gifts, personal accountability and resilience. It also is a story about a strong father whose journey to raise the family after his wife's death was difficult but achievable with the help of family, friends, and neighbors as well as a profound trust and abiding faith in God.
