6th Assignment - Social and Media Scholarship

Hi!

New week, new assignment …

This week assignment was Social and Media scholarship; we were given a task to choose two scholars from the list below:

-         First Monday,

-         International Journal of Internet Science,

-         Policy & Internet,

-         Journal of European Television History and Culture,

-         Language@Internet,

-         Scholarly and Research Communication.

And then find out if they have a Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn  and Academia edu account.

I chose two scholars from the last one Scholarly and Research Communication. 

Gabrielle Gardiner, University of Technology Sydney

She is a Manager e Research at University of Technology in Sydney, Australia. Gabrielle Gardiner uses all four social accounts.

Her Facebook profile isn’t private, but I didn’t found a lot about her, that is relevant for our research. She mostly publish which lecture is she going to attend (for example …). In the screenshot you can see her FB profile. 

 

Gabrielle’s Twitter profile looks like; she is only uses for fun. Her tweets are mostly personal (what is she doing, where is she …). Screenshot on the left is her Twitter account. 

At Gabrielle LinkedIn account I didn’t found anything, because I think that you can only access for more information if you have a payable account. In the screenshot below you can see what I was able to see.  

And at her Academia edu account, you can access for some paper (7) that she had publish.

-         Indigenous knowledge, the library and information service sector, and protocols

-         Indigenous Digital Collections: An Early Look at the Organisation and Culture Interface.

-         Libraries, Indigenous Australians and a Developing Protocols Strategy for the Library and Information Sector

Fides Lawton, University of Technology Sydney 

Fides Lawton is a Director (Library Resources Unit) at University of Technology in Sydney, Australia. She uses three social network, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. 

Her Facebook profil is private, so I couldn’t found anything, as you can see at the screenshot on the right.  

 

Fides Twitter account is only used for fun and for communicate with her collages (Her Tweet: Fides Datu Lawton ‏@fidesdatulawton am at tweetup with colleagues - great fun at work!!) 

At the screenshot you can see her Twitter account.

 

And with her LinkedIn account I had the same problems like with Gabrielle Gardiner’s account before. Believe that only access is available if you have a payable account. 

It was an interesting assignment, I had no particularly problem ...

Talk to you soon!
