ABSTRACT Catalogers often need to make ethical decisions about their daily work. What is the starting point for defining cataloging ethics and how do practitioners define the concept? In this paper, the authors explore definitions of ethics and cataloging ethics in the literature, and subsequently analyze responses to a question asking respondents to define cataloging ethics. Set against the existing backdrop of the American Library Association “Code of Ethics,” the authors propose that shared values create a framework for discussing cataloging ethics, rather than a single articulated definition.

定义编目伦理：从业者的观点

摘要编目员经常需要就其日常工作做出符合道德的决定。定义目录伦理的起点是什么？从业者如何定义概念？在本文中，作者探索了文献中伦理学和分类伦理学的定义，随后分析了对一个要求受访者定义分类伦理学的问题的回答。在美国图书馆协会“道德守则”的现有背景下，作者提出，共享价值创建了一个讨论目录伦理的框架，而不是单一的明确定义。
