Cooke report: ad hoc committee on library holdings
This report and policy is the product of an ad hoc committee of Academic Council, which was established to study those policies and procedures which might be necessary to govern challenges to the Library's holdings. This matter came into being as a result of a challenge involving the book THE HOAX OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY by A. R. Butz. The ad hoc committee was chaired by faculty member John Cook.This sub-series does not contain an actual copy of the Cook Report as the latter can be readily found in other sources in the Archives Collection. See, for instance, RG 5.146 ("Hoax Of the Twentieth Century" general file); the minutes of meetings of the Learning Resources Committee (RG 59); and the minutes of meetings of Academic Council (RG 57).The challenge process and library materials selection procedures were revisited five years later, with a new challenge by faculty member Winston Husbands. See RG 5.197 for further information.
Sub-committee on the challenge procedure report
This report and policy was motivated by a challenge brought in 1990 by Dr. Winston Husbands against a book held by the Ryerson Library (INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL & TOURISM by D. Lundberg and C. Lundberg). Its purpose was to review, revise and strengthen the challenge process and selection of library materials procedures in place since the last major challenge to the Library's holdings in 1985 (HOAX OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY case/See: Cook Report, RG 5.196).This sub-series does not contain an actual copy of the Report. The Report can be found with the minutes of a meeting of the Library Committee dated November 26, 1993. At this meeting, the Report was approved, with changes as noted in the minutes. This marked the culmination of Committee deliberations dating back to the previous academic year (1992-1993). A final copy of the Report (after it was approved with changes at the meeting) was apparently never issued.
