Two of the most formidable problems that have faced information through the
years are its overload on the one hand and its loss on the other. These are
seen as interconnected with the supply and demand sides of grey literature.
A quarter century ago, the Grey Literature Network Service joined by
research communities in library and information, physics, karst and marine
sciences, bio-medicine, nuclear energy, archeology, and many other
scientific and technical fields set out to address this loss and overload of
information. In 1992, when the call for papers went out for the first
conference in the GL-Series, the response was predominantly focused on the
demand side of grey literature - that which was difficult to find and even
more to access. The emphasis then lie in stemming the loss of grey
literature. However, the outcome of that first conference also called
attention to the equally important need for further research into the supply
side of grey literature - namely its production, publication, and public
awareness. GL19 seeks to demonstrate how researchers and authors in the last
25 years have made significant inroads in responding to the loss and
overload of grey literature. Likewise, this conference will seek to provide
new directions in achieving public awareness and access to grey literature
on an ever changing information landscape. To this end, information
professionals and practitioners in the sectors of government, academics,
business and industry are invited to respond to this year's Call for Papers,
