I’m still working on my profile and need to write the “About” and attach a CV. It’s satisfying to create a space that better represents me than what was there before. I’m here: https://hcommons-staging.org/members/lindalevitt/

About photos, our department brought somebody in to take head shots of faculty and grad students when we updated our web site last year.  This was optional, and I was surprised that more people didn’t do it … well, not really surprised about faculty, but the grad students?  Come on!  They were practically born on the internet but still have a hard…[Read more]

Hello All,

I think this is about as done as it will get before we leave for travels this week:  https://hcommons-staging.org/members/saritablue/.

I’ll be in Germany soon working on some bits of German translation of works I need for a project, and I’ll also be on vacation : ), but I hope to be able to complete more of the profile through c…[Read more]

Hi All! Here’s my profile so far: https://hcommons-staging.org/members/cswanson. Reading the past comments on profile pics, I realized mine is a little fuzzy. Hopefully, I can get a better/clearer picture before the summer camp is over.

Hi everyone!

I’m excited to participate in this years HC summer camp.  My profile is still a work in progress, but here it is: https://hcommons-staging.org/members/eliseojacob/

Have a good weekend!

Hi all,

Glad I made it just in time to finish the first challenge! I made some changes to my profile. I could use a new profile pic. but since I’ve been staring at a computer screen all day for the class I’m teaching online, this probably isn’t my best photo moment.
It’s been fun seeing all of your profiles. Mine is here!

Happy Weekend!
Joelle

Hello!

It has been so helpful to see how everyone is approaching this challenge & to learn from your examples.

Thanks to each of you for sharing.

I took some time this evening to explore the ORCID ID, too, which was something I hadn’t heard about before the mini-challenge.

Here is a link to my…[Read more]

Made a few updates to include more information, though this also made me realize that there is more I should do. Here is the update thus far: https://hcommons-staging.org/members/catherineannwin/

It’s a work in progress, but:

Hi All,

Here’s my profile. Like many of us, I’ll probably add a few things between now and the deadline, especially the “about me” section.

And I’ll have to find a better head shot for the profile image than the one have right now.

https://hcommons-staging.org/members/sbanville/.

I’ve tweaked my “About” section a little bit to give it more of a human face (or at least tone), and added some upcoming events. I also added an interest and changed by cover image to something more identifiably “archival”. I may not have time to do more for this particular challenge by 9 June, but look forward to the next one!

Here I…[Read more]

Hello all!

I just finished updating my profile and boy, did it feel good to say that I recently completed my Ph.D.! That said, since I’m in a transitional period right now, I was a bit unsure of what to list as my academic affiliation and addresses/email addresses on my CV and on the site, but soon I will have new official ones for my job in…[Read more]

Caitlin,

My profile picture was the clearest photo I could find that had been taken in the last 10 years. 😀

My cover photo is a picture I took in the British Museum several years ago, and it’s relevant to my Victorian/British studies research. I use these two pictures across all of my social media platforms as well as my website.

I’d like to…[Read more]

Hello!

I had some information on my profile already, but wanted to add more.

I’ve added:
my CV (love the feature; great for juniors like me!),
an About (kept it brief, and added a personal tone),
Education (very easy to do, copy+paste from CV, really),
Cover image (I had a profile photo already, which people who know me think ‘it’s very me’;…[Read more]

Hello!  After a few passes through it, here’s my profile so far: https://hcommons-staging.org/members/jvaught/

I had one, but it needed a tone and content overhaul.  Great suggestions from the challenge and excellent examples from the group helped quite a bit!

As for photos, I had headshots done by a photography student friend a while back an…[Read more]

Wow, so far this first challenge is off to a great start! Thanks to all who’ve shared their profiles so far- they look stellar!

I’m also excited to see that some questions are being raised and discussions are starting regarding the profile page (thanks, Sara and Kate!).

The question regarding how to determine what qualifies as an ‘appropriate’…[Read more]
