Abstract	Each profession has its own code of ethics. The Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary (2008) defines professional ethics as "the principles of conduct governing an individual or a group." The Code of Ethics of the American Library Association (ALA Council 2008) has served librarians for seventy years and reflects the ideals toward which all librarians strive. While they are not step-by-step directives, the statements in the Code provide a moral framework for school library media specialists in their daily practice. School library professionals face ethical dilemmas every day. Although the situations vary, most affect students' access to information and their privacy while using library resources. This article presents real-life examples that reflect contemporary situations. (ERIC).
