Holy Crap! I'm Googlable!

Tonight, while looking up info on some Victorian lit job candidates online (the department's currently hiring), I decided to Google myself (so narcissistic) and entered my full academic name into the search string.

This is what comes up:
The first entry is a link to my most recently published article. I use the middle initial to distinguish me from the other English professor named Mary Chan, whose research interests just brush up against mine. In terms of historical eras, she gets as far as the early eighteenth-century novel, while I focus on the late eighteenth-century novel. Even so, she's published enough that you can see why, academically, the middle initial is a necessity and not an affectation.

More importantly (scarily?), searching for my academic name plus the term "Literature" gave me a bit of a nervous thrill (see second entry):

I am officially on e-notes. I'm not sure why this scares me, but it does. Partly, it has to do with the ease with which anyone can find my writing—and possibly plagiarize it—online. Even though a paid subscription is required to view articles (will desperate students pay for an article?), I do feel a little exposed. Or maybe my unease with the association has to do with the fact that e-notes would never be considered an acceptable secondary source.

On the other hand, when my first article was published in 2005, I kept checking the online MLA bibliography (the main articles database for English literature) for months afterwards to see if it had been listed yet. I guess it's a question of who I want to be exposed to.
