How Much Do You Include?
Okay, so it has been a while since I have been on track (even if And Then The Rest Of The World Gets In The Way) . But I have e-mailed my colleague to set up a time to get my header image finalized for my homepage and I think I have decided upon the outline and content based on what I discussed previously (see Style).
One thing that I am still struggling with is what to do with my publications and presentations. In the beginning, when I was using the National Captial Freenet (http://www.ncf.ca) to host my homepage, I used to link digital copies of all of my publications and even all of the PPT files from my various presentations on my homepage. When I migrated to the UGA server, I did the same thing. But when I migrated to my michaelbarbour.com homepage I didn't. At the time I think it was the work that would have been involved in uploading and linking all of those items in again, but a part of me had other concerns.
I know that there are certain copyright issues that I haven't been concerned with in the past. And regardless if I support open source or not, if a journal owns the copyright to my article what kind of example am I setting for my students as a future member of the academy by ignoring these issues.
There is also the issue that Vegreville raising in his entry entitled Losing control of the manuscript. In this post, he makea case for why he doesn't or isn't posting manuscripts anymore. From his entry, I get the sense that he is referring to manuscripts that are in progress or have been submitted but not accepted, as much as he is talking about publications. But he does raise some interesting points.
So, where does that leave me? Ignore copyright issues in my own little protest for open source and open content by posting digital copies all of my publications and presentations? Or simply provide the list with an encouragement to e-mail me for copies?
There is a middle ground, which would be to post some and not others, but how would you judge which ones to post? There is also the issue of whether or not to post conference presentation PPT slides, I mean a lot of us graduate students have a lot of conference presentations because we need to present to get funding from the university to go, and we need to go to get our names out there and meet others to help us find employment upon graduation.
Some things to think about and hopefully get feedback on. What should be included in my professional shingle that I am designing for the main, or at least immediate purpose of helping me find employment?
