Margaret Murray (1863–1963): Pioneer Egyptologist, Feminist and First Female Archaeology Lecturer
No full textMargaret Murray, who was born 150 years ago, was one of the first archaeologists to be employed at UCL and one of the most distinguished, although her role in the history of archaeology is often underestimated. This article provides a brief outline of the career and contribution of a highly productive and innovative, if sometimes controversial, scholar, who also participated in the wider social movements of her time, particularly the campaign for women’s suffrage
Connecting theory and fiction: Margaret Atwood's novels and second wave feminism
No full textThis thesis undertakes an examination of the manner in which a novelist interacts with a contemporary theoretical discourse. I argue that the novelist and the theoretical discourse enter into a symbiotic relationship in which each influences and is influenced by the other. This process, I suggest, is simultaneous and complex. The thesis demonstrates how the prevailing theoretical discourse is absorbed by the contemporary author, is developed and redefined in conjunction with alternative concerns, and comes to permeate the narrative in an altered state. The novelist's new perspectives, frequently problematising theoretical claims, are then disseminated by the novel, promoting further discussion and development of the theoretical discourse. The thesis focuses on the novels of Margaret Atwood, considering them in relation to the history and development of second wave feminism. "Second wave feminism" is understood as an umbrella term that incorporates a wide variety of related but diverse and occasionally contradictory discourses, centring on the subjects of gender, femininity, and sexuality. The focus of the discussion is dual and presented simultaneously. Atwood's novels are analysed chronologically, and within the parameter of this analysis I demonstrate how her work has been influenced by earlier feminist theories, how it comments upon a variety of contemporary feminist ideas, and how it can be seen to anticipate further discussions within feminist discourse. Finally, I identify moments in Atwood's writing when alternative discourses compete with feminism to create new directions for feminist criticism. Examples of these discourses include Canadian nationalism, liberalism, communitarianism and environmentalism. The specificity of the novelist's interests and politics create a unique site of interaction for feminism which, I argue, benefits feminist theory by challenging, broadening and diversifying its focus. The thesis concludes that the symbiotic relationship of the theorist and the novelist is self-perpetuating and is also necessary and beneficial to both parties

Tagging of Biomedical Articles on CiteULike: A Comparison of User, Author and Professional Indexing
No full textThis paper examines the context of online indexing from the viewpoint of three different groups: users, authors, and professional indexers. User tags, author keywords and descriptors were collected from academic journal articles, which were both indexed in Pubmed and tagged on CiteULike, and analysed. Descriptive statistics, informetric measures, and thesaural term comparison shows that there are important differences in the use of keywords between the three groups in addition to similarities which can be used to enhance support for search and browse. While tags and author keywords were found that matched descriptors exactly, other terms which did not match but provided important expansion to the indexing lexicon were found. These additional terms could be used to enhance support for searching and browsing in article databases as well as to provide invaluable data for entry vocabulary and emergent terminology for regular updates to indexing systems. Additionally, the study suggests that tags support organisation by association to task, projects and subject while making important connections to traditional systems which classify into subject categories

Margaret Clinch
No full textMargaret came to Australia from England with her family, as a child. In 1972, she was attracted to Darwin to the huge professional challenge of Foundation Librarian of the Darwin Community College. This was planned to become a unique multilevel post secondary education institution, for all of the NT. Working with the very few other qualified librarians, like Thea Smitz, head of the Nascent Territory Library Service, she broke new ground.
She remained with the university until 1993. In this time, she added to her academic qualifications, including a year in Canada. She was also active in the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA), Historical Society of the NT, Quota International of Darwin, the Australian Society of Archivists, the Museums Association, and some important special purpose committees.
Soon afterwards, with the help of Rob Wesley Smith, she established PLan: the Planning Action Network Inc, an important peoples' organization working for balance in planning and development, as the NT grows. Communities should be sustainable in terms of social, cultural, environmental and long term economic implications. They should be livable, and in harmony with climate change. In 2011 this was still a busy active organization, with having fought hard for many campaigns, after more than 15 years, and has a shopfront.
Margaret's interest in NT history and heritage continues, with a list of publications. She has more recently become active in Animal wellbeing issues locally, interstate and overseas. Margaret other interests include: Library, museums and archives collections and services, History and heritage, balanced community planning, animal wellbeing, and current events.
Some significant events for her are, being a member of the first NT Statehood Convention in 1998, participating in the World War II Museum Advisory Committee, and recognition for community involvement, in the form of a Tribute from the NT Government on the Anniversary of 100 Years of International Women's Day on 8th March, 2011.

Toddler Behavior Questionnaire
No full textThis questionnaire is a research instrument designed to obtain maternal reports on the anger and tantrum behavior of young children. The target age for the questionnaire is from approximately 10 to 24 months. At this age, typically developing children are in the process of becoming bipedal and most can stand and walk with support, if not independently, at this age. The questions reflect common, everyday situations likely to be experienced by children. The tool was used in studies supported by NIMH grant 17205 (M. W. Sullivan, PI). Two published studies report data from this and an earlier version of the scale and provide basic information on its development and preliminary psychometrics (Sullivan & Lewis, 2012; Sullivan, 2018). The author gives permission for research use of the scale without modification and requests copies of reports of studies including it at a measurement tool.
