In October 2013, a meeting was convened in Nancy in which
representatives from INIST-CNRS, ISTI-CNR, OpenAIRE, and GreyNet
were present. The goal of that meeting was to establish a working
committee to seek further collaboration among repositories housing
grey literature resources, collections, and services. The outcome in
Nancy was the establishment of GreyNet’s Resource Policy Committee
(RPC) chaired by Herbert Gruttemeier, Head of International Relations
at INIST. The committee’s first activity was set to organize a seminar in
the spring of 2014 hosted by CNR in Pisa that would focus on Grey
Literature and Policy Development related to open access, open data,
open standards, open science, etc. Former SIGLE members, current
OpenGrey partners, as well as other stakeholders both within and
outside the grey literature community are invited to participate.
Grey Literature and Policy Development is geared to publishers,
librarians, archivists, and other information professionals in
government, academics, business and industry who are involved in the
production and/or management of grey literature resources.
