Title
Academia, privacy and modern information technology: partnering with industry in the modern economy
Abstract
Authors and educators were once thought of as relatively independent purveyors of knowledge. Mter fulfilling their teaching obligations, academicians were encouraged disseminate their ideas as widely as possible, in exchange for peer recognition credit toward tenure, or evidence of scholarl y work for grant applications. However, modem economic pressures, fueled by advances in information technology, have permanently transformed the academician’s perception of what is private, what is publishable, and the degree to which information both professional and personal, should be made freely available on the Intemet and other digital media for non-targeted dissemination. Academicians and academic institutions as a whole have become highly protective of their increasingly valuable knowledge assets.The result of this paradigm shift is a redefinition of the contemporary role of academia, especially as it relates to the potentially lucrative associations with business and industry. In order to survive, many academicians must become knowledge workers and brokers who look not only to government and private grants for support, but increasingly to partners in business and industry who are willing to cooperate in mutually beneficial and profit-generating ventures.
