Privacy Despite Access or vice versa

Based on the comprehensive use of information technology and resources, information ethics is definitely an interdisciplinary concern. The information technology and communication infrastructure affects nearly every aspect of contemporary experience, from education to business and economics. Established policies governing privacy and the dissemination of public, private, and personal information are not always adequate for addressing issues and concerns related to current ICT developments and practices.
"Information policy... is organized around the information life cycle" (Hernon, 193) Key issues concerning the development of use-based policies must be resolved in regards to managing electronic information resources in ways that are legally and morally acceptable while also protecting personal records yet permitting maximum access.
