Electronic information services and the competencies required for
providing them are defined.  The personal, basic, general, and
special competencies that will be needed are described.  Both how
the competencies are acquired initially and how they will be
maintained thereafter (as well as responsibilities for gaining
and maintaining competencies) are also discussed.

This paper examines three important information policy issues
related to electronic information resources: (1) access--the
ability to gain access to records held by governments or private
companies; (2) privacy--an individual's right to hold information
about him/herself secure; and (3) intellectual property--the
ownership of information.
