Editor's Notes
Given it’s prominence in the press, maybe Facebook is something we’re all well aware of that this stage……but how many of you also blog? Tweet? Have a cell phone or mobile device? Do you use location aps? Ever bought anything online? How about a Netflix account? iTunes? Amazon? Many of these are optimized for collecting data about you and creating a profile that allows companies to taylor their advertising toward your interests? Do you love the convenience or does this occasionally concern you? What about your library patrons? ..or your children, parents or grandparents?You do have a digital identity, some of which you control and some of which is controlled by others.

As a future graduate in search of work, should I be concerned about this? Would someone mistake this for me?Last one is my academic work (with 2 U of A students for an online course! Maybe you’re in the crowd somewhere today :) If we ask students to publish their academic work online will this also have lasting consequences (good or bad)? Is this work recognized/judged as part of a learning process?
