Ethical Considerations: Taking Library Services into Homes

Professional ethical concerns may touch Outreach Services Librarians more significantly than any other branch of library service.  Outreach librarians enter the homes and the lives of their patrons, and face a variety of issues not encountered by most library professionals.  Ethical concerns surround our work, and there are few official guidelines for our decision making.  This presentation will explore these ethical concerns, offer creative solutions, and suggest reasonable boundaries to better serve our clientele.
