»To provide information on Information Systems Ethics (Cyberethics) including content, delivery,and pedagogy.
»To provide links to on-line information resources and courses that may be of interest to academics, practitioners, and the general public.
»To provide a forum for discussion and assistance on issues and topics of interest relative to computer or information ethics.
How do Cyberethics fit into the overall scheme of Information Systems Management? This is the question we seek to answer. New technology creates challenges in the areas of privacy, property, security and individual identity and radically reshapes life styles around the globe. While the scholarly debate continues as we define the field, it seems not unreasonable to suggest that such a task is best handled by those who understand the capabilities and limitations of the technology, the tools of philosophical and ethical reasoning as developed over the millenia, and are sensitive to the spiritual impact of these technologies. Thus, we call for a broad scale dialog to understand, then direct the path of these helpful but disruptive inventions.

The following represent computer ethics courses currently on line at various American universities. We would hope that a cyberethic that, by virtue of its technological underpinnings transcends geo-political boundaries, can mature so as to address the way various cultures distinguish virtue from vice.

»The explosive growth of computer and communications technology
raises new legal and ethical challenges that reflect tensions
between individual rights and societal needs. For instance,
should cracking into a computer system be viewed as a petty
prank, as trespassing, as theft, or as espionage? Should placing
copyrighted material onto a public file server be treated as
freedom of expression or as theft? Should ordinary
communications be encrypted using codes that make it impossible
for law-enforcement agencies to perform wire-taps? As we develop
shared understandings and norms of behavior, we are setting
standards that will govern the information society for decades to
come.
