Symposium on Identity Abuse in the Campus Environment

Friday February 20

All Day (9:00-4:45, Come and go, if necessary)

Toy Lounge, Dey Hall

UNC Chapel Hill Campus

(Open to faculty, staff, and students)

Morning Sessions from 9:00-noon: What is identity? What is identity abuse? How do we balance the need for protection (for ourselves, our colleagues, our students) with the University ideal of open access to information? How much of our identity protection is our responsibility and how much can we depend on technology to protect us? Our morning sessions will introduce the many issues surrounding identity abuse in teaching, research, and everyday campus life. Each section will emphasize lively discussion of the issues.

Lunch Roundtables from Noon-1:30: School of Information and Library Science students will host roundtable discussions at nearby restaurants during lunch. (Each participant will pay for his or her own lunch.) Sign up for roundtables at the beginning of the symposium.

Afternoon Sessions from 1:30-4:45: The afternoon sessions will focus on tips and techniques for better protection as well as what kind of information can be found about a person on the Internet with fairly minimal information and for low cost. If you attend the afternoon sessions, you’ll go away with an array of methods to better protect yourself, your colleagues, and your students.
