**Apologies for cross-posting** ========================================================== Announcing Launch of the MAGiC Website and Holdings Survey ========================================================== **Please circulate widely to interested parties** The MAGiC project (Managing Access to Grey Literature Collections) is pleased to announce the launch of its website at http://www.magic.ac.uk. The aim of MAGiC is to enhance awareness, access and utilisation of key collections of technical reports (grey literature) for the benefit of the UK engineering community. In the UK, collections of engineering technical reports tend to be scattered across academia, government and industry. One of the early key tasks of MAGiC is to map the locations of these collections. To accomplish this we need your help. If you know about a UK collection of engineering technical reports, please *tell us about it* by taking part in our survey at http://www.magic.ac.uk/collection.html. Other tasks we are undertaking, in the early stages of the project, are an assessment of the use and value of engineering grey literature, and development of a collection analysis methodology to enable libraries and archives to identify the most important documents within a collection to prioritise material for digitisation. For further information about the aims and objectives of MAGiC, please visit our web pages. We welcome feedback from all interested parties. Thank you.
