September 15, 2010 Information Ethics and Copyright Lawyering of Information Professionals

Dear Colleagues and Friends:

Welcome to the 31st Annual Manila International Book Fair!

In active participation to the country’s premiere book event, the Philippine Association of Academic and Research Librarians or PAARL (Every Librarian's Association) is honored to invite you in an afternoon of learning and interaction focusing on two equally important issues in Philippine librarianship with Atty. Christopher Cruz, IPO Director of the De La Salle University-Manila as guest lecturer.

Dubbed as “Information Ethics and Copyright Lawyering of Information Professionals”, this lecture-forum will take place on September 15, 2010 from 1:00-5:00pm at Meeting Rooms 5-6, SMX Convention Center, SM Mall of Asia, Pasay City.

The discussion will attempt to address the following concerns:

1. How information professionals can ethically react when confronted with sensitive issues relating to library work of all types.
2. Of the so many critical issues related to information access, resolving conflicts and disagreements for example, what could be the roles and challenges of informational professionals in exercising their ethical decisions.
3. In an information-seeking environment, what really covers the copyright law, its nature, extent and limitations and its implications to Philippine libraries.
4. What information professionals can do best in protecting the copyrighted works and other intellectual property issues that focuse on electronic and online environment in particular?

There is a registration fee of P350 for non-members, P300 for member and P200 for students to cover the snacks and certificates. Renewal and application of membership is also encouraged. For inquiries and reservations, please contact the undersigned or any member of the Board.

Thank you.

Sincerely yours,


Roderick B. Ramos
Vice President/Chair, Conference Committee
