The American Library Association's (2008) Code of Ethics esteems intellectual freedom, student privacy, and intellectual property rights, yet often competes with values found in public schools. The Institute of Global Ethics has suggested five universal virtues to provide guidance in complex and ambiguous situations (R. M. Kidder, 2003), which strengthens the excellence of personal character and acting with integrity. School librarians can experience ethical challenges when actions necessary for what is right and good becomes impeded by fear. Moral courage is practiced when fear is confronted with compassion, honesty, justice, respect, and responsibility and warrants an understanding in the context of the actions among school librarians. A qualitative phenomenological study was used to gain insight into moral courage among public middle and high school librarians and into the extent to which perceived self-efficacy related to moral courage. The research questions included: (a) What are school librarians' perceptions of their abilities to succeed in library-related situations or accomplishing library-related tasks? (b) When confronted with an ethical dilemma that caused the school librarian to be fearful or anxious, what action was taken? and (c) How might gender influence the practice of moral courage? Qualitative data were coded and clustered into groups, and five themes emerged: (a) the school librarian as an autonomous agent, (b) the school librarian as a subordinate agent, (c) the school librarian as a resilient agent, (d) the school librarian as a moral agent, and (e) the school librarian as a nurturing agent. The findings provide insight into the practice of moral courage, the role of self-efficacy, gender's effects on practicing moral courage, limitations of the study, and recommendations for further research.
