About The Book
The boundaries of citizenship have been blurred by global information systems--while the public and private spheres have been reshaped through globalization (and colonialism and capitalism).

Topics include Wikileaks and the dissolution of information; ethical issues for teachers, policy makers and librarians; and creating safe spaces through ethical librarianship.About the Author: Toni Samek is a professor and chair of the School of Library and Information Studies at the University of Alberta.
