The conference of which these papers are the proceedings, examined the legal and ethical issues that the information professional needs to be aware of and take account of in offering an information service. Specific problems associated with Europe are also covered. A variety of different approaches to the freedom of access to information and the importance of data protection legislation and practise are covered in a paper which focuses on recent developments in the way in which the principles of data protection are being implemented in practise. The liabilities and ethics associated with information provision are examined and one paper describes how liability for the provision of inaccurate information can arise and explores methods for avoiding liability or limiting its extent.
