(via the Publicity Subcommittee of the HSLI Conference Planning Committee)

The Health Science Librarians of Illinois (HSLI) Annual Conference organizers are pleased to announce that Emily Knox, Ph.D., M.S.L.I.S., will be the 2017 Conference keynote speaker. An Assistant Professor at the School of Information Sciences, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, the keynoter will speak on Friday morning, October 27, addressing the timely and thought-provoking topic “Providing Ethical Services in Changing Times”. Aligning with the 2017 Conference theme, “The Time Are Changing”, the talk will focus on the following issues. Librarians and other information professionals have long relied on codes of ethics and other guidelines for providing ethical services to all. In a time of rapid political, social, and technological change, do these codes still make sense? How should they be interpreted during a time of radical change? Is it time to update them?
