Re: ethics as a librarian & a consultant

[Spookys6 <Spookys6@AOL.COM>]

Dear Readers,
     I'm interested in your opinion on this matter.  Is it ethical for a
librarian to work in the public sector & also act as a consultant for a
private vendor that they do business with in their institution?  It's no
secret & this person blatantly states this with pride.  This person is near
retirement age, but has not yet done so.  The person has also received more
extensive training in their product line to serve as a trainer to those
purchasing it.
      Thanks for your input.

Yours,
