Besides computing ethics and network ethics, its research components still include all the ICT-induced ethical issues, such as ethical issues caused by tele-information, satellite technology, network technology, and ethical issues induced by mass media, news, libraries, and files, etc. As an example of the prosperity of informational ethics, library ethics emerged and develops rapidly recently. As a component of social libraries and scientific libraries, hospital libraries face a series of new issues, including hospital library ethics and the professional ethics of hospital librarians.
