Over the past 15 years, Grey Literature has developed from a millennium
movement to a well defined field in information studies. The needs and
demands of information society are in constant state of change and flux. To
a great extent, grey literature is the cause of this. Grey Literature has
grown exponentially in relation to commercially published literature and now
challenges informational professionals in all sectors of government,
academics, business and industry.
GreyWorks 2009 consists of Four Modules:
