Ethics of Electronic Information in the Twenty-First Century 2004

摘要

The Electronic Information in the 21st Century (EEI21) symposium convened for the eighth consecutive year at the University of Memphis from October 13-16, 2004. Started in 1997 by the former Dean of Libraries at the University of Memphis, Les Pourciau, EEI21 is an internationally recognized ethics meeting attracting scholars, practitioners and students interested in a wide range of information ethics and related topics. The symposium recognizes that whereas the digital revolution created unprecedented access to information and civic participation, a plethora of ethical challenges are already prevalent in the digital environment. In-depth analysis of such issues helps to shape research agendas and policy processes with the ultimate goal of creating equitable and ethically responsible society in the twenty-first century.
