Personal online reputations: Managing what you can’t controlFrances Ryan
This talk for the 5th annual Discover Academic Research, Training, and Support (DARTS) conference discusses the role of online information in the building, management, and evaluation of personal reputation. It considers the existing literature surrounding reputation and social media use, as well as some early findings from Frances’ information science doctoral investigation on the same topics. A short interactive element encourages participants to think about their own social media use, online information behaviours, and digital footprints—as well as some practical advice on managing a reputation that you can’t fully control.

The findings show that the selected sample of people are all social media users but the level of addicting the social media is differs from person to other. Furthermore, it shows that there is a significant positive relationship between social media addiction and different life dimensions destructions in the Egyptian society, in all manners such as the personal relations, work productivity, health and lifestyle. Accessibility and time spent on social media affects the degree of addiction and so the destruction as well.

Usage of YouTube Content among Chennai Urban Women.pdfPugalendhiR
Abstract: The majority of YouTube users are college students, therefore it's critical to understand their usage patterns,
goals, and any potential psychological and behavioural effects. In order to determine the current trends in YouTube usage
among female undergraduate students in Chennai City, this study will examine the devices used, memberships subscribed
to, purposes used, and identity formation time spent networking, negative impacts experienced, and educational usage.
Data from a survey were analysed with SPSS-Statistic 19.0 software, and the findings were compared to the examined
literature. According to the survey, students' YouTube networking habits will eventually win out over parents' and
teachers' attitudes, and although while cell phones are currently prohibited in many college buildings, they will
undoubtedly be utilised in classrooms in the near future. The discoveries provide the current study in this area more depth.

SDS PhD Networking Event - John MowbrayJohn Mowbray
This is a presentation relating to my doctoral study , which was sponsored by the ESRC and Skills Development Scotland. It is a reflective piece, covering highlights from the PhD process (academic and practical contributions), a sample of research findings, and what I am doing now that I have graduated. My PhD work related to the networking behaviours & social media use of young job seekers living in Scotland, from an informational perspective.
This is a presentation of interview findings which forms part of my PhD project, about how young people engage with their networks and use social media during job search to acquire information. The study was informed by Tom Wilson's model of information seeking (1981), and also included the use of the "name generator" approach to gather ego-net data. This facilitated the creation of ego-net visuals (or job search information networks), which were then analysed to understand the behaviours associated with networking during job search from a young persons perspective. It also provided evidence of how information acquired from people and organisations, both offline and via social media, can improve the quality of job search via access to higher levels of social capital.
This is an academic poster that I will be presenting at the Information Seeking in Context conference 2016, hosted by the University of Zadar, Croatia.
It is called "The role of networking and social media during job search: an information behaviour perspective", and is based upon my PhD work to date. I am now entering my final year.
A critical review of the literature pertaining to the networking behaviours of young jobseekers, in both offline and online environments. A model from information behaviour theory is proposed as a suitable theoretical framework for future research in this area.

This presentation is derived from a short research paper accepted to the i3 conference, which is being held at Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen between 23rd and 26th June 2015. Conference themes include information and its societal impact. The research was carried out in June 2014, and sought to determine the impact of those grassroots campaign groups which are fighting to save substantial portions of their library provision from closure. These groups have proliferated across the UK, and are engaged in an ongoing struggle with their respective local authority decision makers.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

• To determine the information needs of young jobseekers
• To determine how young jobseekers engage in networking behaviours
during job search
– Who are they asking (i.e. people and or/organisations)?
– What social media tools are they using?
– What is the online/offline divide?
• To determine the barriers and enablers young jobseekers face to
networking
