Against a background of discussion about drafting of an ethical code for librarians and a review of articles confronting ethical issues in librarianship, the authors surveyed the 150 institutional members of the Health Science Librarians of Illinois (HSLI) regarding their perceptions of ethical concerns. Among the issues addressed in the survey are library organization, personnel policies, and professional competency, along with the traditional concerns of professional versus personal values, privacy and confidentiality, access to materials, and materials selection criteria in a health sciences context. Based on a 60% response rate, survey results indicate widespread agreement on some issues and a conspicuous lack of consensus on others. Further research is suggested in order to assess the need for a separate ethical code for health sciences librarians.
在关于起草图书馆员道德准则的讨论以及对涉及图书馆行业道德问题的文章进行综述的背景下，作者就伊利诺伊州健康科学图书馆员（HSLI）的150名机构成员对道德问题的看法进行了调查。调查涉及的问题包括图书馆组织、人事政策和专业能力，以及专业与个人价值观、隐私和保密、资料获取和健康科学背景下的资料选择标准等传统问题。基于60%的回复率，调查结果表明，在一些问题上存在广泛共识，而在其他问题上则明显缺乏共识。建议进行进一步研究，以评估是否需要为健康科学图书馆员制定单独的道德准则。
