Abstract

The political revolution in France and the industrial revolution in Great Britain and the United States shifted the course of history around the North Atlantic. Comparably, the transformation of cultural metamorphosis and social structure are more extensive and substantial. The library is the outcome of human civilization, and the mainstream culture in the process of social development has a profound impact on the library culture. We should create good circumstances for intellectual freedom from the perspectives of law, culture and technology. Ethical principles are of great importance for librarians to guide the work, eliminate the ethical dilemma, recognize the ethical responsibility and so on. Based on the historical dimension, this paper systematically sorts out and analyzes the related theories, codes and research practices of the professional ethics for librarians.
