Enhancing Open Access to Grey Literature:  On the Launch of the OpenGrey
Repository
http://www.opengrey.eu/

Today marks the launch of the OpenGrey Repository. OpenGrey succeeds
OpenSIGLE, which was an initiative by INIST-CNRS to transfer the contents of
a commercial database into an open access environment - including the
results of 25 years of collecting and referencing grey literature by
European partners. Since 2008, GreyNet's conference preprints complement the
offer on grey literature in OpenGrey by providing full-text access to
research output in this field of information science,

OpenGrey not only signifies a change in platform but also provides improved
features for users redesigned to meet the needs of a Google generation.
OpenGrey moreover closes the gap caused by the termination of the SIGLE
database by reopening the way for new record entry with links to full text. 
Your comments and recommendations are welcome http://www.opengrey.eu/contact

Next week, INIST and GreyNet will hold a poster presentation at OAI-7 in
Geneva. The poster discusses the OpenGrey Repository as well as a broad
based project involving GreyNet’s enhanced publications.
