A brief review is given of the status of nucleon spin structure functions as
determined from polarized deep inelastic lepton-nucleon scatttering, including
current outstanding problems. The characteristics of a polarized HERA collider,
some of the particle physics topics it could address, and the accelerator
physics challenges it must meet are discussed.Comment: 5 Pages, 6 Figures, To be published in the Proceedings of the DIS99
