repetition, and occasionally the dense vocabulary obscures the point that is being made. Although there are some key case studies mentioned (Andersen, Snowden and NSA Surveillance), and these would be potentially well known to an international audience, it could also be argued that these are high profile cases, and whilst they support Mooradian’s argument, further case studies/scenarios could have been included that are more likely to be encountered within general RIM practice and organisations. In addition, whilst technological developments are acknowledged these areas are not fully explored, which is a missed opportunity; the ethical shifts that are occurring in our digital world have limited coverage. There is a huge amount of literature available concerning digital ethics and perhaps a chapter on this important area, relating it to RIM, would have provided a better balance of approach to both traditional and digital environments. Inevitably this is a book that is predominantly aimed at the US market and at times some further acknowledgement of a UK or European perspective would have been beneficial. For example, in the discussion of privacy there is little to no mention of the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) and data protection is not indexed. There is a strong alignment to the ARMA Code of Professional Responsibility with the inclusion of a number of direct quotes, but strangely the Code is not mentioned in the bibliography. Such a focus may be as a result of the priority given to records management throughout, but the one line mention of ‘other professional codes for information professionals’ (page xxi) seems rather dismissive of ethical codes offered by IFLA (International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions) and CILIP (Chartered Institute for Library and Information Professionals). A paragraph or two comparing these codes with ARMA could potentially increase wider appeal and appear meaningful to the reader. Overall this is a comprehensive text that provides the records and information management professional with a solid introduction and foundation to ethical principles and practice. It is likely to be of some benefit to new entrants to the profession, as well as seasoned professionals who need an expert guide through the ethical minefield that we encounter daily, both on and offline. Mooradian states in his Introduction that the objectives of this book were ‘that an information professional should have a framework that can be used to further investigate ethical issues that face his or her organization’(xxv). In addition, he states that records and information management professionals ‘require even greater knowledge than what is needed to conduct oneself ethically. It requires a broader understanding of ethics and an ability to communicate effectively on ethical matters.’ (ibid.) In this respect his objectives are definitely achieved.

重复，偶尔密集的词汇会掩盖正在提出的观点。尽管提到了一些关键案例研究（Andersen、Snowden 和 NSA Surveillance），而且这些案例可能为国际观众所熟知，但也可以说这些是备受瞩目的案例，虽然它们支持 Mooradian 的论点，但进一步的案例可以包括在一般 RIM 实践和组织中更有可能遇到的研究/情景。此外，虽然技术发展得到承认，但这些领域并未得到充分探索，这是一个错失的机会；在我们的数字世界中发生的道德转变的报道有限。有大量关于数字伦理的文献，也许还有一个关于这个重要领域的章节，与 RIM 相关，会为传统和数字环境提供更好的方法平衡。不可避免地，这是一本主要针对美国市场的书，有时进一步承认英国或欧洲的观点是有益的。例如，在讨论隐私时，几乎没有提到通用数据保护条例 (GDPR)，并且数据保护没有编入索引。与 ARMA 职业责任守则有很强的一致性，其中包含了一些直接引用，但奇怪的是，参考书目中没有提到该守则。这样的重点可能是由于始终优先考虑记录管理，但是一行提到“信息专业人员的其他专业准则”（第 xxi 页）似乎对 IFLA（国际图书馆协会和机构联合会）和 CILIP（特许图书馆和信息专业人员协会）提供的道德准则不屑一顾。将这些代码与 ARMA 进行比较的一两段可能会增加更广泛的吸引力，并且对读者来说似乎很有意义。总的来说，这是一本综合性的文本，为记录和信息管理专业人员提供了道德原则和实践的坚实介绍和基础。对于该行业的新进入者以及需要专家指导来解决我们每天在线和离线遇到的道德雷区的经验丰富的专业人士来说，这可能会有所帮助。Mooradian 在其引言中指出，本书的目标是“信息专业人员应该有一个框架，可以用来进一步调查其组织面临的道德问题”(xxv)。此外，他指出，记录和信息管理专业人员“需要的知识甚至比道德行事所需的知识还要多。它需要对道德有更广泛的理解，并需要就道德问题进行有效沟通。（同上）在这方面，他的目标肯定实现了。他指出，记录和信息管理专业人员“需要的知识甚至比道德行事所需的知识还要多”。它需要对道德有更广泛的理解，并需要就道德问题进行有效沟通。（同上）在这方面，他的目标肯定实现了。他指出，记录和信息管理专业人员“需要的知识甚至比道德行事所需的知识还要多”。它需要对道德有更广泛的理解，并需要就道德问题进行有效沟通。（同上）在这方面，他的目标肯定实现了。
