GREYNET CELEBRATES 25 YEARS OF RESEARCH SUPPORT 

AMSTERDAM - GreyNet, an international grey literature network service,
celebrates its 25th anniversary this year of providing research and
reference support in the fields of academia, government, business and
industry.

Based in Amsterdam, the company was founded in 1992 as an independent
program and conference bureau specializing in the field of grey literature,
which includes papers, abstracts, government reports, PowerPoint
presentations, biographical notes, and a host of other document types in
electronic and print formats not contained in traditional journal
publishing. 

"Over the past 25 years, GreyNet has provided a valuable vehicle for a
worldwide network of literature produced by various government agencies,
universities and other organizations," said Dr. Dominic Farace, founder and
director. "GreyNet is fulfilling its mission to  research and education,
publication and public access to information and data important for
libraries, research communities, and net citizens."

In addition to providing workshops and referral services, GreyNet organizes
an annual international conference on grey literature held in various
locations hosted by leading organizations in the United States, Italy,
Belgium, Luxembourg, Czech Republic, Slovakia, France, Luxembourg, and the
United Kingdom. GreyNet follows each conference with a publication of the
complete proceedings as well as "The Grey Journal" now in its 13th volume.
GreyNet likewise publishes a quarterly newsletter as a means of keeping its
members and the general public informed of developments linked to its
information resources and research output.

"While primarily serving institutions in Europe, North America, and a number
of countries in the Asia Pacific , representatives from recognized
organizations worldwide have over the past 25 years been involved in
significant ways" Farace said.

GreyNet currently includes 11 organizational members, affiliate contacts in
40 nations, over 350 contributing researches and authors, and 280
organizational contacts worldwide. GreyNet's newsletter currently boasts one
thousand recipients.

"The past 25 years have seen significant growth in GreyNet, but there exists
additional roles in training and education as well as opportunities for
greater cooperation with the open access community," Farace said. "Likewise,
there are untapped possibilities for real cooperation with commercial
publishers and licensing agents as well as greater use of available social
media for public awareness to the wealth of knowledge produced by scientific
and technical communities alongside that of commercial publishing."
