Abstract
The static properties of the nucleon must ultimately arise from the quark and gluon constituents and the properties of Quantum Chromodynamics. The quark spin contribution to the spin of the nucleon is experimentally rather small, and there is some evidence that strange quarks are partly responsible. In addition, new efforts to address the role of gluons are in progress. The magnetic moment of the nucleon may contain contributions from strange quark-antiquark pairs, and this aspect of nucleon structure can be studied via parity-violating electron scattering. The present status of these experimental efforts and their impact on our knowledge of nucleon structure is discussed.
