At the Third International Conference in this series, not only was the definition of grey literature redefined but also the direction research should take in the 21st Century. Grey Literature "that which is produced on all levels of government, academics, business and industry in print and electronic formats, but which is not controlled by commercial publishers" moves the field of grey literature beyond established borders into new frontiers, where lines of demarcation between conventional/non-conventional and published/unpublished literature cease to obstruct further development and expansion. At the same time, this new definition challenges commercial publishers to rethink their position on grey literature. The first session at GL'99 confronts these and other issues. The papers will demonstrate the value of grey literature for researchers, policy makers, and information professionals in diverse disciplines and sectors of the global information community. The second session will confront the challenges facing librarians and information technicians in archiving electronic grey literature for subsequent full-text retrieval and document delivery. The final session will address issues of authorship, copyright, and ownership of grey literature. Matters that affect the very processes of knowledge generation and information dissemination. Your intellectual contribution, either by way of a conference paper or as a conference participant pursuing discussion and debate are both solicited and welcome by the GL'99 Sponsors and Program Committee Organisations. ************************** GL'99 CALL FOR PAPERS ************************** GUIDELINES FOR THE SUBMISSION OF ABSTRACTS Participants who wish to present a paper at GL'99 are invited to submit an English abstract.
