Paper Abstract: 
Three medical librarians developed a pilot curriculum designed to address perceived gaps in librarian training in regards to data ethics. One of the team members had additional academic training in ethics and bioethics, which helped to provide an intellectual foundation for this project. Our three-module class aimed to provide students with an overview of major ethical frameworks, skills to apply those frameworks to data issues, and an exploration of ethical considerations and challenges faced in libraries. Participants from library schools and professional library organizations were invited to apply. Twenty-four LIS professionals and students attended the Zoom-based class and shared their thoughts and attitudes by means of a survey after each session and in a focus group after the conclusion of the class.
