Towards a continuum of scholarship: The eventual collapse of the distinction between grey and non-grey literature
Article Abstract:
Political steps that can enhance access to materials that are often easy to obtain when identified properly, especially grey literature, which contains technical reports and public policy overviews, are studied. It is found that institutional repositories represent an exciting possibility for both the preservation and retrieval of grey literature and the development and curation of robust repositories will obviate the political struggle necessary to challenge the current hierarchy between non-grey and grey literature.
