Grey Literature

Invisible Web Sites
Grey Literature refers to publications issued by government, academia, business, and industry, in both print and electronic formats, but not controlled by commercial publishing interests, and where publishing is not the primary business activity of the organization.

Grey literature comprises newsletters, reports, working papers, theses, government documents, bulletins, fact sheets, white papers, opinion polls, conference proceedings and other publications distributed free, available by subscription, or for sale.
