"Data gets all the headlines, but it is knowledge that makes a difference. Knowledge is what we learn and apply to achieve our goals" reads the brochure. Can't wait for the #MCBKUK Conference. @ukfci https://t.co/s5cyYfNduQ

[Nicholas Poole OBE Hon. FCLIP @NickPoole1]

It seems a small thing now, but when @CILIPinfo submitted a formal complaint under the Conservatives Party Code of Conduct for rebranding their social media platform as "Fact Check UK" we got a letter from their Chairman asserting that lying wasn't a ethical issue. He was wrong.

[Nicholas Poole OBE Hon. FCLIP @NickPoole1]

#Library #Ethics are rooted in Human Rights. Any assault on international Human Rights accords is an assault on hard-won civil liberties. History shows that Governments cannot be trusted to self-regulate when it comes to the freedoms of their people.
