Collection Management and Information ethics for library
There are two parts to this assignment. Length: 2,000 words
Part 1
You are instructed by NFY’s Chief Information Officer to develop a policy for the development and management of a largely digital collection, a plan for evaluating the collection in future years and an outline of the main budgetary issues.
Note:
(1) You need to outline a collection policy appropriate to the organization, information services and collection that formed the subject of the NFY (News for you). Note that the collection will consist of more than the 20-30 indicative resources outlined. Be sure to include strategies for the preservation of information resources, where appropriate (this obviously does not apply to resources such as subscription databases).
(2) Your plan for evaluation should address how you would go about evaluation and which methods you think appropriate (collection- versus user-orientated approaches).
(3) Your discussion of budgetary issues should factor in issues specific to the digital information environment.
Where elements of any existing collection development/management policies have been incorporated or adapted be sure to reference them, just as you would any other resource that has specifically informed your thinking.
Part 2
Select a different type of organization, such as a different type of company, a government department, educational institution or archive.
(1) Outline one significant ethical dilemma that its information manager might face and explain briefly why it is significant. Note that this must represent a dilemma, in other words, there must be a clearly identifiable conflict of obligations and/or ethical principles.
(2) Explain clearly what criteria you would use to resolve the dilemma or at least find a way forward for the information manager.
(3) Explain briefly why you think or don’t think that codes of ethics have any significant value in the workplace.
There is no set word limit for this part but it should clearly be significantly briefer than your response to Part 1.
