1.  FOREWORD
__________________________________________________________________________
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The theme 'New Frontiers' captures the real spirit of The Fourth
International Conference on Grey Literature, whose goals and objectives
are reflected in the topics comprising the main sessions. At the Third
International Conference in this series, not only was the definition of
grey literature redefined but also the direction research should take in
the 21st Century.

Grey Literature "That which is produced on all levels of government,
academics, business and industry in print and electronic formats, but
which is not controlled by commercial publishers" moves the field of grey
literature beyond established borders into new frontiers, where lines of
demarcation between conventional/non-conventional and published/
unpublished literature cease to obstruct further development and
expansion. At the same time, this new definition challenges commercial
publishers to rethink their position on grey literature.

The First Session at GL'99 confronts these and other issues. The papers
will demonstrate the value of grey literature for researchers, policy
makers, and information professionals in diverse disciplines and sectors
of the global information community. The Second Session will confront the
challenges facing librarians and information technicians in publishing and
archiving electronic grey literature for subsequent full-text retrieval
and document delivery. The Third Session will address issues of
authorship, copyright, and ownership of grey literature. Matters that
affect the very processes of knowledge generation and information
dissemination. Your intellectual contribution, either by way of a
conference paper or as a conference participant pursuing discussion
and debate are genuinely welcome.
