People and places we know about who are re-using the materials we have presented here. Please feel free to let us know on the comments page if you are making use of the materials we provide. ReadyToResearch - a collaboration between The Open University , HEFCE , Mimas , the University of Leicester and The University of Nottingham provides Open Education Resources for research students. University of Victoria , Canada, re-uses the This Is Me materials in their advice for students on “Managing your digital identity” Florizel Media , a communications company, has a gues post from Professor Shirley Williams on Digital Identity. University of Leicester Careers Service uses a This Is Me leaflet to help raise student awareness of Digital Identity issues.I am making my way through John Updike's The Early Stories . The book has been patiently waiting its turn on my To Read book carousel, its very heft causing me to turn right by it several times in favor of something smaller, something less demanding of my fully engaged attention. Reading a writer like Updike, a writer for whom language is more than a transparent covering on the "reality" it evokes, always requires one's willing attention, or there's no point in reading him at all. To make your way through 103 stories and 828 pages of Updike, however, makes one hesitate before finally summoning the commitment to go ahead with it. I have read many of these stories before, but Updike has re-arranged them in the way in which he presumably now wants them to be read, the arrangement that will convey most felicitously what they have to offer us.
