[ 1.] GL*SSARY, AN INTERNET PROJECT
GL*SSARY is the third in a series of projects established by
GreyNet in order to build resources in Grey Literature. The first
project from 1992-1994 was linked to the First International
Conference on Grey Literature. It was intended to produce a
bibliographic database and an "Annotated Bibliography". That
project was implemented within the GL'93 Conference structure,
whereby participants and others interested in the field of grey
literature could provide bibliographic records and abstracts.
Likewise from 1994-1996, within the conference structure of
GL'95, the Second International Conference on Grey Literature,
information on persons and organisations, along with their
respective products and services within the field of grey
literature were compiled and edited. The results of that project
have rendered an "International Guide to Persons and Organisations
in Grey Literature". This resource like the first, is available
both in printed and electronic versions.
The GL*SSARY Project (1996-1998) is currently in a planning stage
and will commence in the second half of this year. The name
GL*SSARY is a play on words, which implies 'a Glossary of terms
used in Grey Literature'. The project will likewise be
implemented within the conference structure of GL'97, the Third
International Conference on Grey Literature to be held in
Luxembourg on November 13-14, 1997. The procedure for compiling
and editing the information for GL*SSARY will proceed in three
phases. In Phase 1, a key list of terms derived from the
Annotated Bibliography, the International Guide, and the full
text of Conference Papers on grey literature will be compiled.
In Phase 2, The key terms used by specific authors, researchers,
and corporate authors will be emailed to them, and they will be
requested to provide concise examples and/or explanations of its
use. And, in Phase 3, the GL*SSARY database will be made
available on the Internet and its printed counterpart will be
published. This new resource will be expected to demonstrate
"What the key terms are in the field of grey literature, Who uses
these terms, and How are they used". This R&D Tool will attempt
to put into perspective a very complex and expanding field of
information science. GL*SSARY will link past results, while
focusing on the future of grey literature.
[ 2.] NETHERLANDS SYMPOSIUM ON GREY LITERATURE - NLGL'96
In November 1989, the first Netherlands Symposium on Grey
Literature was organised by the WTI Council chaired by Professor
A.O. Kouwenhoven from the University of Amsterdam. Since then,
that Council has ceased its activities; however, the interest in
grey literature has continued to emerge. We have seen a number
of seminars and workshops on grey literature organised in various
countries. Since 1993, two International Conferences have dealt
with the complexities of this expanding field of information.
NLGL'96, the Second Netherlands Symposium on Grey Literature, has
taken as its theme "GL in Network Environments". There will be
speakers from both the public and private sectors including:
Elsevier Science Publishers, Philips Research, the Universities
of Tilburg and Twente, 'de Volkskrant' a Dutch Newspaper, etc.

[ 3.] U.S. WORKSHOP ON GREY LITERATURE - GREYWORKS'96
In September 1993, the first U.S. Workshop on Grey Literature was
held in Crystal City, Virginia. It was organised by NASA in order
to improve access to foreign grey literature.
GreyWorks'96, the Second U.S. Workshop on Grey Literature, is
being organised by GreyNet in cooperation with OSS, Inc. The
focus of GreyWorks'96 is geared to "Information Forecasts and
Grey Literature" and its goal is threefold:
1. To synthesize the (meta)information generated in this field
and present it in a state-of-the-art,
2. To reverse the premise that "information transfer is a
prerequisite to knowledge transfer", and use the knowledge that
has already been generated in this field in order to explore new
parameters for grey literature, and
3. To encounter firsthand, examples of resources, methods, and
policies that successfully exploit grey literature in printed and
electronic environments.
The speakers for GreyWorks'96 are from NASA, NTIS, CIS, Ei,
Access Innovations, IIA, the National Library of Education, etc.

[ 4.] A GL-RESOURCE 'MADE-TO-ORDER'
The second edition of the Annotated Bibliography on Grey
Literature was published in April 1996. The meta-information
contained in this resource, is available both in printed and
electronic formats. This resource was compiled in such a way that
it is 'made-to-order' for diverse user groups.
The bibliographic information received and generated since the
publication of the first edition in 1994, was entered into
GreyNet's in-house database. The information was then downloaded,
edited, and transmitted to the GreyNet Gopher/WWW. Furthermore,
the bibliographic records are WAIS indexed in order to facilitate
retrieval on the Internet. This information has likewise been
word-processed in order to produce a camera-ready version for
formal publication and document delivery. A byte-size version of
this product is also made available on diskette.
The revised edition of the bibliography contains more than 500
records on the topic of grey literature. This shows a 20%
increase in the number of bibliographic entries since its first
edition. When available, abstracts and information on accessing
the documents are included in the records. In the printed
version, the records appear in alphabetical order according to
the family name of the first author. A complete Index to Authors,
as well as a Keyword Index are incorporated in the publication.
