- Library ethics is an important research topic because of its conceptual connection with many areas of academic ethics. However, although concerns about ethical issues in librarianship go back to beginning of the twenty century, very few empirical studies have been conducted on this topic. The purpose of this study was to examine library professionals’ and users’ perceptions, experiences and awareness of library ethics. The study group consists of 52 library users and 13 library professionals. Data were obtained via semi-structured interviews and analyzed for coding using NVIVO program. A great number of participants from both groups declared that they were unfamiliar with the notion of library ethics. However, the participants pointed out many issues, situations and behaviors that are very closely related to library ethics. Among others, the most common ethical issues faced in libraries were found damaging library materials, copy rights violations, concealing books, reservation of seats, disturbing others, disrespectful behavior, requesting privilege user rights. Taking care of library materials, fair and equal services, not censoring, providing suitable place for study, helping users, obeying copy rights, professional efficiencies were stated among the institutional ethical responsibilities of libraries.
