A research based on the philosophical principles of ethics is presented. The role developed by the graduated from Library and Information Sciences is studied. Reflections on the ethics code determined by different institutions, which focus their work on the sphere of the scientific-research information activity, are included. A critical assessment about the ethical behaviour developed at present by the information professional is established, as well as the influence of his attitudes on the knowledge society emerged through the paradigmatic technological processes.
