Notes

Excerpt:

"The “Statement on Principles and Standards of Acquisitions Practice” was adopted by the ALCTS Board of Directors at ALA Midwinter on February 7, 1994. The “Statement” had been developed by the Acquisitions Section Ethics Task Force. While this statement seems to fulfill the destiny of the task force in a rote kind of organizational way, something is clearly wrong. How is it that an ethics task force develops a “statement on principles and standards?” Why not develop a code of ethics?"
