[2]. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
While the title "Perspectives on the Design and Transfer of Scientific
and Technical Information" reflects the topics and themes that will be
incorporated in the Third International Conference on Grey Literature,
so also its logo reflects the development that has taken place in this
expanding field of information. At the first conference in this series
held in 1993, emphasis was placed on printed grey literature. The second
conference in this series held in 1995, expanded the scope of grey
literature to include electronic publications. And, at this third
international conference, which will be held in Luxembourg on 13-14
November 1997, attention will be focused on new uses of grey literature
in facilitating the innovation process. A process in which new producers
and publishers of grey literature provide us with new forms and types of
grey literature. Where new methods and mediums of storing and distributing
grey literature create new uses for these resources, and in turn, where
new users of these resources demonstrate their further capabilities for
scientific and technical gain.
