This paper discusses the mutations occurring within the information profession as a result of the rapid and complex transformation of existing information systems. The author feels it is essential for professionals, users and the information profession as a whole to recognize and understand these changes as well as their socio-economic consequences. Particular atten tion should be given to the following: the advent of microcom puters, electronic publishing, the end-user's reappropriation of information systems, the emergence of new types of informa tion, and the concept of information utility.
