The document advises maintaining a clean social media profile by avoiding anything you wouldn't want your mother to see and keeping personal and professional accounts separate.
This document discusses designing distinctions that balance self-interest and collective interest without destroying society. It acknowledges the tension between individual goals and the greater good, and considers how differences influence variety.

Your Digital Footprint - A Flipbook by Sinthiya SooriyaganthanSinthiyaS
油
The document discusses how the internet creates a permanent digital footprint for everyone through posts, photos, and information shared online. It notes that employers and college admissions officers now research candidates online and have rejected some based on what they find. Additionally, personal details can be inferred from public information even if not directly shared. The document warns that anything posted online can potentially be tracked and used, so people should think carefully about what they share.

Your digital footprint follows you forever online. A survey found that 75% of recruiters do online research on candidates and 70% have rejected candidates based on information found. College admissions officers also research applicants online, with 31% visiting social media pages. Now your past tweets and posts are permanently stored in archives, so be careful about what you share online as it can affect your future opportunities and reputation.

The document discusses how the internet creates a permanent digital footprint and archive of people's online activities and sharing. It notes that employers and college admissions officers now research candidates online.

Social Media Converse Connect Collaborate LearnAnne Adrian
油
The document discusses the growing popularity and importance of social media. It notes that over 70% of adults now use the internet and rely on online sources for information. Membership in online communities has more than doubled in recent years, with over half of users logging in daily and feeling as connected to online groups as to offline networks. The document advocates that organizations use social media to engage in conversations, share knowledge, collaborate, and build relationships with stakeholders.
The document discusses how academic identity and metrics are changing. It notes that identity is becoming more distributed across overlapping communities with varied norms, which can be confusing. It questions what impact and metrics mean in academia and whether alternative representations to metrics could be sufficient, as metrics are both useful but also potentially dangerous due to pressures to conform to them.
The document discusses the concept of neoliberalism and its key principles. It explores how neoliberalism advocates for privatization, deregulation and reducing the state's role to benefit private business. It also examines how neoliberalism establishes a framework of free market competition and views citizens primarily as consumers. The document further analyzes criticisms of neoliberalism and its real-world impacts, including how it has affected public education systems.

This document discusses three situations involving the use of social media by public sector employees and presents guidelines for addressing related issues:
1) A staff member posts criticisms of another department on her personal blog, prompting a complaint.
2) An online forum is making false and potentially damaging accusations about your department that could be reported by media.
3) A senior advisor asks an employee to delete unflattering nicknames of a minister from Wikipedia.
The document concludes that social software offers opportunities for the public sector if handled properly, as the benefits generally outweigh the risks, but users must remember that while the tools are theirs, they do not own the content.

Working Differently Blogging for Education and MarketingAnne Adrian
油
The document discusses how blogging can be used for education and marketing purposes. It outlines how blogging allows professionals to share information, build relationships, and influence others. Blogging is presented as an important tool for professionals to engage with clients and stay connected with colleagues. The document provides tips on getting started with blogging and other social media tools.
Clicktivism refers to digital activism such as promoting causes on social media, soliciting donations, and signing petitions. While the online world offers opportunities for activism and connection, clicktivism is criticized as "slacktivism" where low engagement substitutes for real action. However, online activism should not be dismissed as it can raise awareness and influence offline events, demonstrating that a click for a cause is better than nothing.
The document discusses social media trends and stakeholder engagement around the world. It notes that in Asia, bulletin boards and forums still drive conversation. In Russia, the most popular social networks are LiveJournal for bloggers, LiveInternet for teens, and Odnoklassniki.ru. In Germany, social media is language-driven and outreach needs to be local. The UK has fewer influential blogs than the US but social networks are equally or more important. The document advocates for storytelling and notes there are no borders online, with social media evolving differently in different cultures. It also discusses trends in US politics and social media, and predicts communities and social networks will become more important over brand websites.
This presentation from Paul Signorelli and Sharon Morris was prepared under the auspices of the ALA Learning Round Table for delivery at the ALA Annual Conference on June 26, 2012 in Anaheim, California.
