>        Grey Literature is that body of material encompassing works outside
>the publishing mainstream (e.g., reports, dissertations, government documents,
>proceedings, and datafiles).  It can be produced by associations, ministries,
>laboratories, libraries, universities, businesses and governmental agencies.
>With the developments in electronic publishing and the Internet, Grey
>Literature has recaptured the attention of authors, publishers, and end-users
>alike.  In the past five years alone, the number of publications in this area
>have more than doubled.  What we are now seeing, is the development of an
>independent field within library and information science as a growing number
>of seminars, conferences, and courses are being organized in this increasingly
>important field.
>
>        The Second International Conference on Grey Literature is
>concentrating on three primary topics:  New forms of Grey Literature in
>Networked Environments; Marketing and promotional activities aligned to Grey
>Literature; and, Management of Grey Literature in regional and global
>contexts.  The Inaugural Address will be given by Donald B. Simpson, President
>of the Center for Research Libraries (Chicago, IL), and Judy C. McDermott,
>Chief of the Overseas Operations Division at the Library of Congress
>(Washington D.C.) will be the keynote speaker.  Patrick Ellis, President of
>the Catholic University of America will welcome conference participants.
>Plenary and satellite sessions will include papers from a diverse number of
>countries to include Brazil, Botswana, Chile, Germany, India, Italy, the
