Abstract
"The Federal Bureau of Investigation was the catalyst that established
the theme for the Twenty-First Allerton Institute, held at the University
of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign's Allerton House, October 29-31, 1989.
The FBI's Library Awareness Program, if it had any merit, did raise a
significant ethical conflict between the librarian's responsibility to preserve
the confidentiality surrounding use of library materials and his or
her responsibility as a citizen of the United States. The FBI's activities,
along with an apparent increase in interest in ethical matters in society
as a whole, suggested ""professional ethics"" as an appropriate theme for
a conference of librarians in 1989."
