Editor's Notes
- So what do we know about tattoos? They can be a creative expression of ourselves as individualsā¦ They can be beautiful (in the eye of the beholder)ā¦[click]
- Weāre here today to tell you about our project at UBC , the Digital Tattoo. We like the metaphor of a tattoo because the information you put online is just like one. highly visible hard to remove an expression of yourself to others (for better or worse!) In one hour we can really only explore a small sample of the issues surrounding online participation. By telling you what we're doing at the Digital Tattoo project, we hope to touch on topics that may be relevant to you in your organizations, and to offer some practical tools for you to take away, adapt and use this material in your library setting. Weād like to begin by providing some context for why this project was started and why we feel itās important to share it with you. Weāll then outline our project goals and offer examples of what weāre doing to educate about these issues. Throughout our presentation we encourage you to think about how these issues may relate to you and your work environment. Weāll end by offering some practical ways for you to adapt and use our content.
- As you know, there are endless opportunities to network and connect onlineā¦ ā¦ some with more impact than others.
- To date, the population most affected, for better or worse, are our young adults. (Highlight text box info. Astounding to contemplate the implicationsā¦) Even more disturbing are the stats such listed belowā¦
- (at end] BUTā¦ Just because people are fluent in new technologies doesn't mean that they understand the implications of their actions.
- (after quote) The quote is taken from research published earlier this month out of Berkeley University regarding youth views about web privacy, security and online identity. http://ow.ly/1AoXc http://ow.ly/1AoXs We need to teach young adults to āself-reflect before they self-reveal.ā ā Itās not that they donāt care, itās just that they donāt know.ā As information professionals, the question then isā¦ What information do people interacting online (and given the stats, especially young adults) really need to know?
- On a previous slide, we saw the myriad of networks for connecting online, and with the population of Facebook aloneā¦ People need to know that ābeing online is essentially being in public.ā regardless of the passwords, email accounts and privacy settings we think are protecting us. Take protective measures, yes, but consider whether you ultimately want to share information publicly before posting anything, anywhereā¦ This is especially true of anything we do online that is hosted on a server in the US because of the USA Patriot Act. (In the US anyway, there are cases of people not getting hired due to information on their Facebook account, regardless of the degree to which their privacy settings were set). So people need to consider āwhoā they are interacting with online? There is potentially a vast audience for our contributions and that audience is essentiallyā¦
- ā¦ anonymous. We donāt know who is viewing the information we share online and what their intentions are for using that information. Ask yourself for a minute why someone might search for you online? (eg. I looked many of you up before this conference, mostly to get a sense of which library environments were most represented (public, academic, etc.). I know that some of you used to live in another province, have read material that you have written and more. How does it feel to know this? Do you feel concerned that I may know things about you that are really ānone of my businessā?) Unfortunately, this illusion of anonymity also leads some people to behave and interact online in ways they wouldnāt face-to-face. Eg. Weāve all heard disturbing stories of cyberbullying, (share story with time), weāve seen some stats on sextingā¦ and though the media focuses its attention on them, we also know these behaviours arenāt limited to young adults. So we definitely need to ask āwhoā are we interacting with when we choose to participate and contribute online?
- We should be aware that our online content is permanent. This is not only due to caching but becauseā¦ All content in a digital space can be moved freely around the Web. This "cut and paste" culture allows rapid and widespread sharing of information, and it also means that photos, emails, IMs, comments, and more can be taken out of context and used in ways that the author didn't intend. commonsense.org
- Personal opinions aside, we will divide you into groups (6 groups of 5, 3 pro and 3 against) to defend one point of view on this topic. Weāll debate and discuss as an entire group after youāve had a chance to develop your argument.
- All said, for those who are well-informed, the online environment provides fantastic opportunitiesā¦ Click One: Access to Information and furthering education Topics can be explored deeply. We can go around the world with the click of a mouse. Learning can happen with a diverse community (I.e. online with differing perspectives from people literally all over the globe). Click Two: Connect and Collaborate We have become a culture that values networking ā now more than ever. It's not what you know, it's who you know. In fact, one of the most valued professional skills is the ability to form, manage, and nurture a team. The skills learned on social networking sites, blogs, etc. ā like how to communicate appropriately online, provide constructive feedback, and build groups of people with common interests There's also the element of global connectedness, which is new to this generation. They're able to easily connect with people from around the world and learn about different perspectives. Click Three: Community Support The Internet can be a very positive tool for building community. We have the opportunity to explore interests and find a community of like-minded people that can provide support. Example: Haiti fundraising Shy people in the offline world can create a new persona and be part of a group of friends/community online. (adapted from commonsense.org) So in spite of all the cautions we highlighted, weāre not recommending that people stop contributing online. There are fantastic opportunities to share information (what we librarians love right?)and to learn and to collaborateā¦ and the Digital Tattoo project is all about supporting these opportunities tooā¦
- Now that you have some context for why weāve created the Digital Tattooā¦ Weād like to tell you how weāre educating students about these topics and to consider how this can be relevant and adapted for use in your library setting. Our project: Digital Tattoo Project is basically an online tutorial with ongoing workshops (weāll look at these more in depth in a minute). In general, our goals for the project are to produce student-generated content, publish it in an accessible environment (Wordpress) to form the basis of an online tutorial and supplementary workshop materials. Specifically, we aim to: Increase student awareness of issues surrounding all information that they create and post online (on websites, for course assignments, etc.)including information about themselves (on social networking sites like Facebook, etc.) Provide practical suggestions to encourage student safety, on and offline. Increase student use of settings, tools and strategies to ensure privacy when desired. Increase student awareness of their rights and responsibilities as creators of digital content on the web. Develop the online tutorial in a format that allows for easy sharing/re-publishing to encourage broad usability.

- In Phase 1 of the project , we achieved a number of key goals, resulting in the following outcomes : Student generated content and scenarios for the website Production of a 50-page interactive website with key questions, self assessment, polls and sample scenarios in 4 categories: Protect, Connect, Learn, Work Development of supporting materials ā bookmarks, one-page handouts, screencasts, etc. to support a campus-wide campaign for active self-management of a studentās own personal information and the information a student produces and makes available online. Development of train the trainer style materials to support student presenters in reproducing the information for particular student audiences.Ā Ā Training and support for student and staff authors in the Wordpress environment.

- (Trish -Relate this to the context of school librarians/public?) We have provided workshops for the students in the teacher education programā¦ This Is Me ā the work that was done by Shirley Williams and her colleagues in the UK is terrific in its thoughtful use of case studies and well crafted questions to stimulate personal reflection on the issues involved. What we hope to build on this approach.
- (Trish- relate this to context of public librarians?) We provided workshops to highschool students directlyā¦
- (Relate examples of work with undergrads to context of academic librarians) -Workshops for undergrads almost always begin with a partnered āDigital Tattoo Searchā -We then talk about adjusting privacy settings but also about archive.orgās āWayback Machineā and the USA Patriot Act as reminders that careful consideration is needed before publishing anything online, anywhere Other topics include: -Web research (what is current? authoritative? accurate? -see example above) -Academic honesty -Intellectual property, Copyright, and Creative Commons -Citation tools for digital information -Options for publishing research online (eg. freelance, Open Access, UBCās Institutional Repository, cIRcle)
- (Relates to all librarians) Co-op workshops: Employers may judge you based on personal information they find online. This is an example from our tutorialā¦ tough to see but yes those are police officers in the background. Other examples include folks who have posted on social networks about how much they dislike their boss, how theyāre bored at work, or people confessing about stealing from the workplace ā¦forgetting that they had also āfriendedā their boss.
