Abstract

MORALES CAMPOS, Estela. Infodiversity, the right to information and the ethical use of information. Infor [online]. 2022, vol.27, n.2, pp.48-78.  Epub Dec 01, 2022. ISSN 2301-1378.  https://doi.org/10.35643/info.27.2.4.

This article explores the social and technological relationships that stimulate the creation and use of information that, in turn, reflect the diversity, plurality and multiculturality of the planet. However, we cannot promote one benefit by affecting another. In this sense, we must defend infodiversity from our specialty, but without violating or hindering other rights, such as the right to information, or other laws and agreements that intervene in this process. It also presents the interrelationships between school, family and library that intervene in the formation of our users in order to achieve a successful search for information through critical thinking. In this way, it is necessary to promote an ethical and social conduct in the user, in the librarian, in the author and in every person involved in the edition of information. This work emphasizes the utmost respect that should be granted to the interests and creative works of others. Therefore, each of the actors involved in the creation and use of information must comply with codes of ethics that emphasize objectivity and impartiality.

Keywords : INFODIVERSITY; RIGHT TO INFORMATION; ETHICAL USE OF INFORMATION; INCLUSIVE INFORMATION SERVICES.
