There are at least two potential roles for the information
professional in the next decade. There is a ``best of all possible
worlds'' scenario, and then there is the ``Oops! Wish we could start
over...'' outcome. Our present society is technologically
capable of catapulting itself into the `better world' for the coming
century. Financially, our society is either unaware of this
opportunity or is merely unwilling to pay for it. The Information
profession can help establish an enabling National Information Policy
by awakening the public to its existing example of well-applied
technology. The actions we take today as a professional group
and as a society will determine the role of the information
professional in the 2000's.
