Fifteenth International Conference on Grey Literature, The Grey Audit: A
Field Assessment in Grey Literature 

The Fifteenth International Conference in the GL-Series provides the grey
literature community an inclusive platform from which to assess developments
in their field of information. Over the past two decades, since the very
launch of this conference series, information science has been significantly
impacted by social and technological developments. This gives sufficient
cause for an audit in the field of grey literature - drawing upon
accomplishments, assessing limitations, and projecting a sustained course of
action. A field assessment of grey literature extends well beyond library
and information science, for it includes the assessment of grey literature
produced and published in other sciences as well as government, business and
industry. Information professionals and practitioners also become a part of
this assessment, for it is they who carry out research in specific fields
and make results available to their respective communities and wider public
audiences. The Grey Audit seeks to ascertain the validity and reliability of
information and data produced in the grey circuit. It further seeks to
measure the cost effectiveness of investing in grey literature both in
material as well as human resources. The Grey Audit sets out to examine
accepted standards applied in processing and distributing grey literature in
an effort to identify guidelines for good practice that will be of benefit
well into our 21st Century. Such examples of good practice will no doubt
impact policy, which in turn will ensure future programs where grey
literature is deployed. In order to carry out The Grey Audit, information
professionals with previous involvement in grey literature, as well as those
new to the field are encouraged to respond to this year's Call for Papers
