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.

Electronic Information Literacy library staff workshops

The file consists of teaching aids for in-house, library staff workshops on electronic information. Delivered during the early years of electronic information, the workshops included using CD-ROM* databases and Boolean search functions, as well as the research potential of the World Wide Web, and the Lexis/Nexis periodical database service.

Most of the file is dedicated to the Internet - terminology and the functions of the World Wide Web : connecting to MATRIX (Ryerson computer network system) from which one could access e-mail, the Ryerson or Library home pages, discussion and news groups, or search the Internet using Gopher or browsers such as Mosaic (later Netscape), and surfing the Net with search engines (Alta Vista, Lycos, Yahoo, etc.).

The workshops strengthened staff research skills to assist students and other patrons with electronic information research. Most of the teaching aids are duplicates of the handouts, as well as overheads.

*CD-ROM is the acronym for Compact Disc Ready-Only Memory.
