Electronic resources are transforming library information services and creating new challenges for the organization and representation of information. Specify ONE information environment (academic, school media center, public, special, archives, etc.) and discuss the following:
 * As a result of the availability of electronic resources, identify THREE new challenges that have been created for organizing and representing information in your selected information environment?
 * How can the principles of information organization and representation help an information professional in addressing these challenges? Provide examples to substantiate your point.

In public libraries, electronic resources provide a variety of challenges. 1. How to show patrons what is available. Does the electronic link show up in the catalog? 2. How patrons get to what is availble. Do they need a separate password or log-in? Is there support available? 3.
