Editor's Note
Twenty-twelve marks the 20th Anniversary since the founding of the Grey
Literature Network Service. Over the past two decades, GreyNet together with
its associate members have been responsible for the program and planning of
fourteen international conferences on grey literature. Research results
produced by well over 300 contributing authors from more than twenty
countries worldwide have been captured and preserved. These content
contributions have been further complied, edited, and made available in a
host of information products ranging from conference proceedings to journal
articles with further coverage in websites, newsletters, and an ever
increasing range of other social media. During these past years, GreyNet has
taken the initiative in a number of research projects in order to provide
stakeholders in the international grey literature community with analyses,
reviews, enhanced metadata, survey results, and courseware. GreyNet has
further sought to encourage and honor outstanding achievements in the field
of grey literature by way of its coveted Annual Award bestowed to date on
twelve information professionals in North America and Europe. GreyNet itself
is the honored recipient of the Golden Candle Award in 2000 for its unique
networked service and the Victorine van Schaick Prize in 2008 for The Grey
Journal geared to schools and colleges of library and information science.
In lead-up to the 14th International Conference on Grey Literature scheduled
this November in Rome, GreyNet further pursues a mandate from its cohorts to
initiate negotiations leading up to its transition from an independent
proprietorship to an international association. Readership and journal
subscribers are openly encouraged to voice their comments and
recommendations in this pursuit.
