Abstract

Grey literature has attracted public attention, as it was stated in "Agreement between the Government of Japan and the Government of the United States of America on Cooperation in Research and Development in Science and Technology". We define it as follows: 1) Open to the public, 2) Hard to obtain because it is not distributed through ordinary distribution channels. Grey literature includes a variety of documents such as technical reports published by public organs, journals by nonprofit organs and universities, conference proceedings and preprints by academic societies, and theses by researchers. Each literature has information which is not available from other sources and is valuable in this sense. Nevertheless, it takes much manpower and time to collect them. JICST, NDL and NACSIS regard grey literature as very important, and are now focusing on collecting and disseminating it to researchers.
