This thesis was created using multimedia technology. It presents the subject of librarians and the information superhighway to a general audience in a short public relations video. Special focus is given to the professional ethics of librarianship based in part on the 1990 proposed draft of professional ethics by the American Society for Information Science. Points covered include: intellectual freedom, equal access, privacy, confidentiality, proprietary rights, and censorship, as well as a general explanation of the information superhighway.;The content of the video was determined by the outcome of a Delphi study, where eight professional librarians and two library science graduate students responded to the question "What ought the public know about librarians within the context of the information superhighway?".
