[GreyNet]

GreyNet’s Collection of Conference Preprints is current and comprehensive,
http://www.greynet.org/opengreyrepository.html 

With the addition of GreyNet’s 2010 conference preprints in the newly
launched OpenGrey Repository, this unique collection of research papers in
the field of grey literature now exceeds 250 metadata records along with
accompanying  full-text papers, PowerPoints, and biographical information on
the authors, http://www.opengrey.eu/search/request?q=greynet 

GreyNet together with INIST-CNRS (France), DANS (Netherlands), and Pratt
Institute (USA) will initiate this year a broad based project to enhance the
existing collection of conference preprints. Each of the four partnering
organizations is brought together based on their expertise and tasks they
will execute during the course of the project.  GreyNet will work together
with INIST-CNRS to devise a questionnaire and carry-out a survey among its
author base in the acquisition of research data linked to conference
preprints. GreyNet will facilitate data entry in the DANS Easy Repository
with link backs to corresponding metadata records in the OpenGrey
Repository. And, GreyNet will cooperate with Pratt Institute to establish
basic criteria upon which commentaries by LIS students will be compiled and
added to existing metadata records. Preliminary results of this Enhanced
Publications Project will be presented during the Thirteenth International
Conference on Grey Literature, http://www.textrelease.com/gl13program.html
