Rick Barry _www.mybestdocs.com_ (http://www.mybestdocs.com/) Cofounder, Open Reader Consortium _www.openreader.org_ (http://www.openreader.org/) In a message dated 7/6/2006 12:07:57 A.M. Eastern Standard Time, [log in to unmask] writes: I am doing a report for a class on the SAA code of ethics. I'm supposed to find opinions garnered from this and position papers. I know that SAA has a new code of ethics and there may be no opinions on the separate provisions, as yet. But I was wondering if anyone had access to position papers presented before the new code was enacted, ones written for the new code? Without such materials, alas, I may have to write the paper on another code. Any help is appreciated. Russell D.
