It’s really not much of a secret – I mean, I should have created a corporatelibrarian account on gmail if I truly wanted to maintain my anonymity. Or not posted my trading card on Flickr recently. And for those of you as addicted to Web 2.0 things as I am, here’s my profile-in-progress at Library 2.0 on Ning.
But for the 3 or 4 people who haven’t figured it out, hi. My name’s Steven Kaye. I work for Accenture, at least I do until April 30th. When I first set up this blog, the advice I got was to keep it anonymous until Accenture figured out its blogging policy. But it gets awkward writing about oneself in the third person, I was annoyed that I had to turn down an chance to be quoted by Judith Siess because I wasn’t sure what I could and couldn’t reveal about myself, and from what I can tell from Accenture’s blogging policy, as long as I follow common sense guidelines:
- Follow the company’s Business Code of Ethics
- Respect copyright and fair use policies
- Protect confidential and proprietary information
- Don’t comment on or disclose the company’s financial or operational performance
- Don’t reference company clients, business partners or suppliers without permission and don’t use their actual names
- Use a disclaimer
I’m kosher. I’d wondered about that last bit, since WordPress doesn’t seem to have an easy way to post a disclaimer so it’s always at the top of a blog. So for now, I’ve created a disclaimer page.
Got any questions, now that I no longer have a secret identity?

Nice to meet you
I, too, have a little disclaimer on my blog — just a little one — and I don’t link to MPOW although it’s very easy to google me and find out where I work (which is ok, too!) As you’ll soon be out of a job, it makes sense to unmask for networking purposes. Good luck!
