Title

¬The need for a value-based reference policy : John Rawls at the reference desk

Source

Reference librarian. 1994, no.47, S.201-211

Year

1994

Abstract

A value-based reference policy satisfies both the practical convcerns of the reference librarian and the principles stated in the Library Bill of Rights and the ALA Code of Ethics. One such value is justice, as described by John Rawls in 'A Theory of Justice'. A reference policy based on Rawls' system provides equitable service to all members of an academic community while permitting the librarian to uphold the ideal of freedom of access to information
