Ethics and the Internet

How has the Internet and social media changed us as human beings? Dr. Michael Kalichman, Director of the UCSD Research Ethics Program, is both a scientist and ethicist. He spoke to SANDALL and SLA-SD members at our Spring Workshop on April 24, 2010 about the big questions of the Internet revolution. What have we lost? What have we gained?

Terms and Conditions of Social Media

Ever wonder what the terms and conditions for sites like Facebook actually mean? For those of you who didn't look at that initial verbage when you signed up for Facebook or LinkedIn or Twitter, you are not alone. One person who looks at the small print is Julie Cromer Young, Associate Professor of Law at Thomas Jefferson School of Law, and Director of the Center for Law, Technology and Communications. See an excerpt of what she shared with us about "terms and conditions" at the 2010 SANDALL/SLA-SD Spring Workshop.
