Abstract

Access to grey literature is growing which is a result of a constant development of open science and accesssibilty of information. Since little is known about grey literature and its use in Slovenia, the aim of the study is to examine its usage, and to obtain information about acquaintance of Slovenian academic librarians with this kind of literature. The survey was conducted by using an online questionnaire adderessed to the Slovenian academic libraries. The questionnaire was designed to investigate knowledge about grey literature among academic librarians. Its goal was also to identify the categories of grey literature obtained by libraries, ways of its acquisition and classification. All 3 hypotheses were confirmed. The survey results showed that the expression grey literature is established among Slovenian academic librarians. We may confirm that academic libraries in Slovenia collect grey literature, and that it is catalogued in the Slovenian academic libraries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The internet has profoundly changed how we produce, use and collect research and information for public policy and practice, with grey literature and data playing an increasingly important role. Reports, discussion papers, briefings and many other resources produced and published by organisations, without recourse to the commercial or scholarly publishing industry, are a key part of the evidence used for public policy and practice. Yet finding and accessing this material can be a time-consuming task made harder by poor production and management of resources and the lack of digital collecting services. Even knowing what is being collected and what collections exist is a difficult task. Based on research conducted as part of the Grey Literature Strategies ARC Linkage project, this article reports on the results of online surveys of users, producers and collectors of policy and research information with a particular focus on the results for collecting services. It discusses the state of collecting digital grey literature in Australia and the issues that need to be addressed to maximise the value of this public asset. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
