This is a strong and disturbing conclusion: "A typology of homepages and hence identities of academics is proposed based on the Web sites examined, concluding that whether the homepage is constructed by the academic or by the university, the identities of the individual are ultimately lost to the governmentality of the university." In other words, "academics' identities are subordinated to the university" and "academics' personal pages tend to be 'professional' hiding their other selves."
