Here is what I’ve done to my profile so far! I might make some more changes depending on how I’m feeling as the deadline approaches.

Here is my profile: https://hcommons.org/members/djgavin/

Like Kirsten commented, I am open to making changes before the deadline, especially as I get to see others’ profiles and get inspired!

Here’s my profile, although I expect I’ll keep tinkering with it as we go on:

Like all of you, I expect to revise what I’ve done thus far as I’m inspired by others’ profiles: https://hcommons.org/members/leighbonds/

Hello! Click here for my updated profile! I’ve had one for some months, but I’ve updated the information on most sections – also, new profile pic!

A couple of things that came to my mind while working on the profile were: 1) is my current picture “appropriate” for an academic profile? 2) is there a preferred length for the “about” section? In other words, how long is “too long”?

Here’s what I have so far: https://hcommons.org/members/mollief/. I’ll probably tinker with it a bit more.

Hello!  After a few passes through it, here’s my profile so far: https://hcommons.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 and I use them *all the time*!  It was a great investment- I recommend it.

Have updated my profile, too: https://hcommons.org/members/jenniferenicholson/

Haven’t yet written up an ‘about me’ but will hopefully get to this in the next few days!

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’; for the cover image I’ve added a photo of me digitising a poster–my job at the moment–of Lenin, reflecting my interests in archive, history, Socialism etc.)
Upcoming talks (was happy to have something to add here!)

I’m looking now at adding Projects, not very sure about format and what information to add.

Thanks! Well done, everyone!

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 Paris, so I will just have to remember to update this again in July.

Here is the link: https://hcommons.org/members/nberkman/.

Have a great weekend, everybody!

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 am: https://hcommons.org/members/ninalager/

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.

It’s a work in progress, but:

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.org/members/catherineannwin/

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 profile: https://hcommons.org/members/katietrostel/

Looking forward to learning more!

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!

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.org/members/eliseojacob/

Have a good weekend!

Hi All! Here’s my profile so far: https://hcommons.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.

Hello All,

I think this is about as done as it will get before we leave for travels this week:  https://hcommons.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 challenges in the coming weeks!

Doing this, I realized I have no good head shots of my now blond hair : ), so this will have to do.

Enjoy the weekend!

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 time wrapping their heads around their “online presence.”

Anyway, that’s an option, if you can convince your department to do it.  Also, our Career Center offers periodic “Linked In Photo Booths” at their events, where staff will take pictures for grad students.  Before we got the head shots my professional pic was from a Linked In booth I popped into, even though it’s been a long time since I was a grad student.

Just two ideas, for those of you with energy to effect a photographic change for the common good.

For my cover photo, well, that’s a no brainer: I do love UCLA.  And marching bands.  Go, Bruins!

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.org/members/lindalevitt/

So I’m late to the game since I was camping last week but here is my profile. I am glad I did it, I realized some of my conference presentations and other things I’ve done left off my CV

Hi all. I’ve updated my profile here. I too struggle with considering what sort of photo (professionally-staged vs. one that doesn’t look ‘too’ academic) to include in public profiles. Thankfully, ORCID has no option for a profile photo. I went with the latter for my HC profile, as I think photos of me in the lab or the classroom come off a little too stuffy(?).

I’m also curious; does HC allow users to track stats/traffic to their profiles? I know we can on our WordPress sites, but I wonder if there’s a way to see this data on the HC side. Having this could help to incentivize us to keep our profiles- another version of our cv– up to date during semesters. How do other folks work with maintaining multiple public profiles?
