1. BACKGROUND AND GOALS:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In September 1993, the first U.S. Workshop on Grey Literature was held in
Crystal City, Virginia. In other countries seminars and symposia have also
been organised on this topic. Since 1993, two International Conferences
have dealt with the complexities of this expanding field of information.
The goal of GreyWorks'96, the Second U.S. Workshop on Grey Literature
is threefold:
(1.) To synthesize the (meta)information generated in this field and
present it in a state-of-the-art review,
(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.
