Greetings! We wanted to get this issue of the Grey Literature Report out before leaving for the Medical Library Association's Annual Conference being held jointly this year with the Canadian Health Libraries Association. The Public Health/Health Administration and Collection Development sections will be holding a program of interest Sunday, May 7, from 4:00 PM - 5:30 PM: "Tracking the Gray Literature: Capturing the Elusive Dragon, Tracking the Noncommercially Published Literature, and Making it Accessible." The Grey Literature Report and the work of the New York Academy of Medicine in creating a grey literature collection, will be presented at this conference program. If you won't be in Vancouver, or if you would like to preview the presentation the PowerPoint slides are available here: http://www.nyam.org/librarygreylitpres/sld001.htm .
