Vol.2, No.4 November 2000
At long last, here is the Fall issue of the Grey Literature Report, listing recent acquisitions of grey literature publications in the fields of public health and health policy.
First however, there is some bad news for Grey Literature. GreyNet - The Grey Literature Network Service is no more. Earlier this week MCB University Press, parent company of GreyNet, announced the discontinuation of the services of GreyNet. This means there will be no Fifth International Conference on Grey Literature in 2001 (and we were so looking forward to The Hague), and that the proposed GL-Compendium database of grey literature collections is never going to emerge.
So, we forge ahead. Here are our latest acquisitions of grey literature at The New York Academy of Medicine.
Remember, the Grey Literature Reports are not searchable as a separate database as of yet. But the documents contained herein will be added to our Online Catalog and are keyword searchable there at http://innopac.nyam.org. To subscribe to receive email notification of new issues of the Grey Literature Report, send an email message to mascher@nyam.org . Include the words, "subscribe grey literature report," and your email address, in the body of the message.
The next Grey Literature Report will be posted in February 2001. Have a happy holiday season..
