Managing Your Professional Identity Online THU 2/15/18 12-1:15pm Berry Library 183 LINK: libcal.dartmouth.edu/event/3958237 In the digital age where everyone has an online identity by default, it is critical that you take control of your professional identity, which can reflect important contributions you've made throughout your career. Your professional identity connects you to your work, which can include your job, your professional research, or your creative work. It is important to have a unique and unambiguous identity, connect that identity with your accomplishments, communicate about your work to the audience you want, and measure the impact of your work. In this highly interactive, hands-on session, we'll review tools and services, and discuss ways to make the best decisions for your professional identity. We will also address how to manage your professional work on scholarly networking sites such as Researchgate, Academia.edu, Twitter, FaceBook, and blogs, and how to legally share your work in the Dartmouth Digital Commons. Bring your questions about the personal and professional identity ecosystems you use! Please bring your laptop! You are welcome to arrive at 11:45, get lunch and settle in. With Librarians Barbara DeFelice and Jen Green of Dartmouth's Scholarly Communication, Copyright and Publishing Program.
