Gregory Hutton
gr942697 at DAL.CA
Dalhousie University
School of Information Management

For his paper entitled: "Scientific Grey Literature in a Digital Age: Measuring its Use and Influence in an Evolving Information Economy."

Mr. Hutton's paper was also accepted for presentation at the Canadian Association for Information Science conference, May 28-30 at Carleton University, Ottawa, Ontario.  The abstract and full-text of his paper may be found in the Conference Proceedings at http://www.cais-acsi.ca/proceedings/2009/Hutton_2009.pdf

>From the jury: "His paper is extremely well-written, providing good explanations for a very dense topic."  "In an era where grey literature needs this sort of rigorous attention, he describes his project clearly, packs a lot into a few pages, and reaches a conclusion."

Mr. Hutton will receive up to $1000 to help defray the costs of attendance at the 2009 ASIS&T Annual Meeting, "Thriving on Diversity - Information Opportunities in a Pluralistic World" which takes place  November 6-11, 2009 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
