    Purpose - To provide an overview of, the relationship between the British Library and higher education libraries in the 1990s, with particular relation to document supply. It also goes on to explore current developments in scholarly communication. Design/methodology/approach - The author played a role in several of the events described and uses the available literature to enlarge on a personal view of that decade. Findings - The paper shows that the relationship was a strained one caused in part by a mismatch of resources, but is in any case dwarfed by the larger external forces and changing opportunities and technologies for scholarly communication. Originality/value - Provides a record of the period

    Military Life at Fort Atkinson 1819-1827

    No full text
    This thesis uses an in depth examination of documents and other archeological finds in order to give an accurate description of military life at Fort Atkinson from 1819-1827.During the summer of 1956, the Nebraska State Historical Society Field Party, conducted by Marvin F. Kivett, Director of the Museum, excavated a portion of the site of the fort, near Fort Calhoun, Nebraska.The author was granted access to the material recovered by this archeological field party for the writing of this thesis. The author first gives an examination of the background behind For Atkinson, including a description of the Yellowstone Expedition and the expedition for Council Bluffs.The author then goes on to discuss the construction of the fort, the general routines of those who lived at Fort Atkinson, the quartermaster and their duties, the medical department and even details of the musicians and band that worked at the fort.The author also wrote of the relations Fort Atkinson had with neighboring Indian tribes and finally discusses the reasons behind the decision to abandon Fort Atkinson and the overall significance of Fort Atkinson.

    An Author Event presented by The Friends of the University of Adelaide Library, 16 August 2018, Ira Raymond Exhibition Room, Barr Smith Library.Emma will speak about Nancy Atkinson who was a pioneer bacteriologist in antibiotics and salmonellas from 1939 at the University of Adelaide and the Institute of Medical and Veterinary Science. Interestingly, Emma’s grandmother, Jessica McEwin (nee Mawson), was working at the University of Adelaide as a bacteriologist at the same time as Nancy Atkinson. Writing about Nancy continues Emma’s theme of promoting lives which might otherwise go unrecognised. Situating Nancy Atkinson in the context of women scientists of the 20th Century and more particularly in the context of South Australian women scientists will help to highlight the significance of her achievements and contributions to scientific research. Emma will be making use of Nancy’s papers that are held in Special Collections

    Bounded Sequential Dominance Criteria

    Get PDF
    In the spirit of Fleurbaey et al. (2001), it is tempting to introduce more reasonable lower and upper bounds in Atkinson and Bourguigon’s (1987) sequential generalized Lorenz dominance procedure. Unfortunately, our proposal leads, at best, to an average household income criterion, which is unsuited to make heterogeneous welfare comparisons. We therefore restrict attention to imposing either lower or upper bounds, resulting in two new sequential dominance criteria.

    Don’t be Afraid of the Boogeyman: Media Narratives Surrounding the Death of Derek Boogaard

    No full text
    Within research on mental health in professional sports, mental illness has been recognized as a threat to athletes’ personal and professional lives. In 1996, the National Hockey League Players Association (NHLPA) and National Hockey League (NHL) emphasized the importance of improving mental wellness among athletes by implementing the Substance Abuse and Behavioral Health program (SABH) into their Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). However, since establishing this program, players suffering from mental illness have not always received the appropriate care and treatment necessary for recovery. In 2011, the NHL witnessed the deaths of three of its players – Derek Boogaard, Rick Rypien and Wade Belak – all related to mental health disorders. While highlighting players suffering from mental illness is now within the media, stories are often published that individualize mental illness without capturing the destructive aspects of sports culture, which often play a great role in the genesis of poor mental health and addiction among athletes. The present study examined how North American print and digital news stories narrated the death of Derek Boogaard, who died of an accidental overdose of oxycodone and alcohol at 28 years old. Boogaard's case was analyzed to examine if/how mental illness was narrated within news media from May 13th, 2011 - August 13th, 2011. Key findings included three central narratives: “sensationalizing physicality, aggression and violence,” “overlooking pain and injuries,” and “idolizing Boogaard’s off-ice persona.” Together, these three narratives demonstrate that media narratives often align with the values of hockey culture. This allowed researchers to better understand how "problematic" athletes are individualized within the news media, as opposed to addressing the culture of risk and denial deeply rooted in the sport of hockey.M.Sc
