literature, will be launched in the spring of 2005. This flagship journal
crosses continents, disciplines, and sectors both public and private. The
Grey Journal not only deals with the topic of grey literature but also is
itself a document type that is classified as grey literature. It is akin to
other grey serial publications, such as conference proceedings, reports,
working papers, etc. The Grey Journal is geared to Colleges and Schools
of Library and Information Studies, as well as, information professionals,
who produce, publish, process, manage, disseminate, and use grey literature
e.g. researchers, editors, librarians, documentalists, archivists, etcetera.
