  Burton, P.F.: On reading "The banning of books in libraries".
  In: Library review. 56(2007) no.3, S.197-199.
  
  Abstract: Purpose - To reflect on an editorial from an earlier issue entitled "The banning of books in libraries". Design/methodology/approach - A discussion of the argument presented in the original editorial and its connection to present-day concerns over the use and dissemination of information and links to other issues, together with the maintenance of a professional ethos in the face of those concerns. Findings - A set of moral absolutes does exist from which librarians can derive an ethos for the operation of their services. Such absolutes take on a greater significance in the complex moral climate in which we now live, but are now under threat. Practical implications - This article calls on library and information professionals to maintain their stand in the face of increasing pressures to compromise attitudes. Originality/value - Reflects on the continuing (and increased) importance of professional values.

  Burton, P.F.: Regulation and control of the Internet : Is it feasible? Is it necessary?.
  In: Journal of information science. 21(1995) no.6, S.413-428.
  
  Abstract: Discusses the need for, demand for, and problems of regulating access to the Internet, particularly in the light of the availability of services which some people might consider to be offensive (such as pornography), and describes the results of a 2 part survey into the question. In the first part of the study, the WWW was searched for newsgropus which could be regarded as being offensive to some (a list is included as an appendix). 65 sites on the WWW were found to contain images which could cause offence, though relatively few might be considered 'pornographic', and most had some form of control exercised by the site owner. A number of sites had closed down due to the demand placed upon them, but there was also evidence of closure by another body. The second part of the study reports on the measures taken by UK universities to control access by staff and students. The majority were found to exercise no control other than that recommended by the UK Education and Research Networking Association (UKERNA), but the principle reason given is the impracticality of controlling the Internet, rather than content. Argues that regulation would damage the free flow of information over the Internet, which provides an unprecedented opportunity for the exchange of information on a global scale

  Burton, P.F.: Electronic mail as an academic discussion forum.
  In: Journal of documentation. 50(1994) no.2, S.99-110.
  
  Abstract: This paper describes the use of electronic mail as a medium through which discussion of a range of topics, as distinct from the exchange of research and other information, can be facilitated. Following a review of the principle features of computer mediated communication, with specific reference to electronic mail, a case study is presented of a discussion which lasted for two months, during which twenty-two topics were raised by contributors, who were mainly academic staff located in a number of countries. The discussion can be compared to that which might occur verbally at a conference or other meeting, but electronic mail provides a number of features which add to the nature of the discussion. Issues stemming from this use of the medium are also considered

  Crossan, G. ; Burton, P.F.: Teleworking stereotypes : a case study.
  In: Journal of information science. 19(1993) no.5, S.249-362.
  
  Abstract: Compares the findings of the literature on the teleworking stereotypes with a case study of a teleworking venture. The study took the form of structured interviews with eight teleworkers, some home based and other working from an office. The majority of homeworkers are married women with childcare responsibilities who are not interested in promotion. However isolation was not a major problem. Teleworkers may not be the homogeneous group commentators often describe
