Abstract
The increasing effect of information and telecommunications technologies and the growing influence of the market economy in the world of information are modifying the environment in which information professionals act. Change has been significant in the legal field. Along with new problems unimaginable in the past, some of the legal areas traditionally involved in the training of librarians and information scientists have changed. Therefore, it is crucial to reappraise certain aspects of the education of information professionals in view of new technological and economic realities. To highlight the consequences for information professionals, this article analyzes the following areas with legal implications: 1) selection of materials and censorship, 2) access to information, 3) reference services and information brokerage, 4) privacy, confidentiality, and data protection, and 5) copyright.
