DI Digital Identity • We use the term "digital identity" (DI) to describe the persona an individual presents across all the digital spaces that he/she is represented in.
Facets of DI • There maybe a number of facets to a person’s DI • What sort of DI should an e-Researcher have?
Think of an established researcher that you admire. How do we establish what sort of DI do they present? Exercise
That’s the right one - Lets try some of the tabs

Discussion Points 1 • Should you try and retain separate DIs for private and professional lives? • E.g. multiple Facebook accounts • Is your DI altered by: • The people you follow? • The people who follow you?
Discussion Points 2 • Does a Web 2.0 DI help your research career? • Can Web 2.0 DI damage your research career? • If you ignore Web 2.0 is it not there?
