OLC PROGRAM: ETHICAL DECISION-MAKING FOR LIBRARIANS. The Ohio Library Council is pleased to host Ethical Decision-Making for Librarians and Information Professionals, Thurs., June 2, at the Perry Sippo Branch of the Stark County District Public Library. This one-day seminar is presented by Dr. Nancy Zimmerman, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, The Graduate School, and Associate Professor, School of Library and Information Science, at the University of South Carolina. Dr. Zimmerman is a certified Institute for Global Ethics (IGE) educator, an ALA Councilor-at-Large, and former chair of the ALA Committee on Professional Ethics.

This seminar will provide the practical tools and thought processes necessary to assist library staff members in resolving the ethical issues they face daily. This dynamic four-step process helps participants:

 *   become ethically aware;
 *   identify the global common ground of values underlying ethics that surface from research conducted around the world;
 *   analyze ethical issues using real-life, real-work, right vs. right dilemmas according to four dilemma paradigms; and
 *   resolve dilemmas using three practical resolution principles.

Registration is $100.00 for OLC Individual members or staff of Institutional Member libraries. Discount rates are available for three or more registrants from the same library.
