Resumo: Discusses the possibilities of establishing the relationship among the terms identity, ethics and information observing the configuration of ethics identity that can influence the behavior of information professionals and users. It considers the ethic as a philosophical and political condition that must be related to everyday events, in order to develop a more effective research on the moral behavior of mankind. To do so, certifies the importance of historicist ethics to devise a more accurate meaning for the term in question. It poses as the problem the following questions: the librarian code of ethics is well prepared? What are the weaknesses and qualitative points of the document? The code of ethics has been followed by the librarian’s category? It examines the librarian code of ethics considering all the qualities and weaknesses, and make suggestions for improving it. It also verify if the above considerations permit to infer that if attitudes do not look consistent with the dignity of the profession it would be more appropriate to be submitted to an Ethics Committee - established to assess actions that apparently did not fit in a Code of Professional Conduct as an Ethics Code, with requirements for setting standards of conduct. Finally suggests that the code need to be reformulated and much of what has been proclaimed has not been fulfilled in everyday work practices of the librarian.

Considera a ética como um pressuposto filosófico e político que deve estar relacionado aos fatos cotidianos para poder desenvolver estudos mais efetivos acerca do comportamento moral da humanidade. Para tanto, atesta a importância da ética historicista a fim de conceber uma concepção mais precisa sobre o termo em questão. Estabelece como condição problematológica os seguintes questionamentos: o código de ética do bibliotecário é bem elaborado? Quais são as suas deficiências e pontos qualitativos do documento? O código de ética tem sido cumprido pela categoria biblioteconômica? Analisa o código de ética do bibliotecário considerando todos os pontos que o constituem, suas deficiências e qualidades, bem como aponta sugestões para o aprimoramento do código, além de verificar que as reflexões expostas possibilitam inferir que, no caso de analisar atitudes não condizentes com a dignidade da profissão, seria mais adequado uma Comissão de Ética constituída para avaliar ações que aparentemente não se enquadrem num Código de Conduta Profissional do que um Código de Ética com prescrições para fixar normas de conduta. Aponta finalmente que é preciso uma reformulação do código e que muito do que se tem apregoado não tem sido cumprido nas práticas profissionais e cotidianas do bibliotecário.Universidade Estadual de Campinas2010-03-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionTextoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/otherapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rdbci/article/view/195810.20396/rdbci.v7i2.1958RDBCI: Digital Journal of Library and Information Science; Vol. 8 No. 1 (2010): jan./jun.; 76-101RDBCI: Revista Digital de Biblioteconomia e Ciência da Informação; v. 8 n. 1 (2010): jan./jun.; 76-1011678-765Xreponame:Revista Digital de Biblioteconomia e Ciência da Informaçãoinstname:Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP)instacron:UNICAMPporhttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rdbci/article/view/1958/2079Brazil; contemporary Brasil; contemporâneoCopyright (c) 2010 Jonathas Luiz Carvalho Silvahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSilva, Jonathas Luiz Carvalho2021-09-25T23:37:02Zoai:ojs.periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br:article/1958Revistahttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rdbciPUBhttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rdbci/oaippec@unicamp.br||gilbfe@unicamp.br|| rdbci@unicamp.br|| danif@unicamp.br1678-765X1678-765Xopendoar:2023-05-22T10:16:08.972004Revista Digital de Biblioteconomia e Ciência da Informação - Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP)false
