“…Only two categories, confidentiality and privacy and free and equal access to information, appear as categories in all previous typologies (Table 6). Similar to this study and to the typologies, Milberg, Burke, Smith, and Kallman (1995) also found concern about privacy to be high in all nine countries they studied. Confidentiality and privacy, as well as free and equal access to information, seem to be the most global and common principles in the LIS profession and are stressed both by practitioners (as manifested through their codes of ethics) and by scholars (as manifested through the previous typologies).…”

This study of 28 countries involves comparative content analysis of the English versions of codes of ethics proposed by professional associations. It yielded an empirically grounded typology of principles arranged in twenty categories. The most frequently identified principles were professional development, integrity, confidentiality or privacy, and free and equal access to information. While confidentiality and privacy, and equal access to information, appear in all existing typologies of library and information science ethics, other principles, such as copyright and intellectual property, democracy, and responsibility toward society, which appear in almost all other typologies, were evident in fewer than half of the codes. This empirical study provides a global perspective on library association code of ethics.

“…Milberg et al [20] suggested the possibility of individuals in different countries would exhibit different levels of concern regarding information privacy at a given point of time. This statement is derived from the facts produced by Westin [21] that societies do value privacy in some form, but the expression of the privacy varies significantly across cultures.…”

Abstract-Asian communities have a distinctive concept in perceiving the value of information privacy, which is completely unique from the description set by western countries. This paper gathers the definition and the theory of information privacy culture. Based on the culture dimension theory of Hofstede, it attempts to reveal the perception and concern of Asian countries towards the privacy of its personal information. A survey was conducted in one of the public universities in Malaysia in order to gauge the 'power distance' and 'collectivistic' culture characteristic in the public perception towards their personal medical information privacy. The result unveils its support for both theories, despite the increasing trend in privacy appreciation among the post-graduate and professionals in Malaysia. In addition, the result also shows a notable increase in the public privacy concern especially over the management of their personal medical information (PMI) in the hospital information system (HIS). The findings should be considered as valuable in designing the patient's electronic medical record (EMR) system in HIS with the incorporation of privacy preservation elements.Index Terms-Information privacy culture, privacy concern, personal medical information, hospital information system.

“…Altman [1975] has described the process of privacy management as a "dialectic and dynamic boundary regulation process" -conditioned by the expectations and experiences of the parties involved and under continuous negotiation and refinement. Given differences in norms, expectations, experiences, behaviors, and laws across cultures, it is no surprise that privacy manifests itself differently in different cultures [Westin 1967;Milberg, Burke et al 1995]. Viewed socially, the notion of privacy evolves as external changes bring about changes in expectations and behavior, or as technology introduces new forms or means of interaction.…”

“…This distinction may also apply to privacy concerns in the context of awareness systems. Milberg et al and Bellman et al [Milberg, Burke et al 1995;Bellman, Johnson et al 2004] reported that privacy concern varies by country. At the same time, they mentioned that "secondary use" and "improper access" rank as the top two concerns across most nationalities.…”

“…This may be caused by the same factors that engender impoverishment of awareness (i.e., less frequent and asynchronous interaction, less shared context, multi-tasking etc.) Additionally, if the work is geographically distributed across different countries, different privacy attitudes and laws of different nationalities need to be considered [Milberg, Burke et al 1995;Bellman, Johnson et al 2004]. In contrast, tightly coupled activities involve more focused (and often synchronous as well as collocated) interactions that allow one to monitor privacy closely.…”
