Code of Ethics for Librarians

Abstract

"Librarians, as the central force of library administration that contribute to the development of society through the transmission of the memories of nations and the humankind, have heavy responsibilities. These responsibilities can be finally fulfilled only when the critical self-awakening and moral sensibility is alive in every aspect of their professional activities. We, hereby, as an oath to ourselves and as a promise to the people, establish an ethical guiding post by which we will find our direction, and declare it today."
