Integrating Information Ethics in Library and Information Science Curricula in Zimbabwe: Country Report presented at a Teaching Information Ethics in Africa Conference held at the University of Botswana
Description
The demand and drive for countries of the developing world to transform into knowledge economies cannot be over emphasized. This has largely been influenced by the obvious desire for an information society in which information is considered an economic resource. Within such a society, it is almost generally agreed and understood that the creation, distribution, diffusion, use and manipulation of information is a major economic, political and cultural activity. Also central to an information society is the role of information and communications technologies (ICTs) in driving the production and economic agenda of such a society. From these perspectives, emerge the need to consider ethical creation, distribution, diffusion, use and manipulation of information.
