EDITOR'S NOTE: 'GreyNet,
1992-2007'
This year marks GreyNet’s
(Grey Literature Network Service) 15th Anniversary. Looking back in the field
of information and communication to 1992 is not only a journey in time to a
previous century but also to a period in history without mobile telephone, the
World Wide Web, Open Access Repositories, and other such technological advances
and exploitations. When we look back to this same period related to grey
literature, we see an ad hoc interest in research among a few information
professionals in Europe and the
In 1993, a year following
GreyNet’s foundation, the First International Conference on Grey Literature was
to bring together a core group of authors and researchers sowing the seeds for
a global research community. The endeavor met with success in that the Ninth
International Conference in the GL-Series convenes this December in
Over the past 15 years,
GreyNet has been able to mobilize over 250 authors and researchers providing
them with a variety of platforms for presenting and communicating the results
of their work. In 2005, GreyNet undertook editing of The Grey Journal (TGJ) in
an effort to provide another channel for the distribution of research results
in the field of grey literature; and, the journal is currently in its third
volume. As of recent, GreyNet has initiated a proposal for a distance learning
course for (post)graduate students. GreyNet hopes that such an innovative endeavor
will not only further the awareness and distribution of research results in the
field of grey literature but will at the same time provide new avenues for
young researchers to enter and specialize in this field. Since The Grey Journal
is geared to colleges and schools of Library and Information Studies (LIS), a
distance learning course would be consistent with GreyNet’s other networked
information services – first conference based, later journal bound, and soon
hopefully course certified.
This issue of TGJ is titled
“Grey Standards in Transition and Use”. In a way it is a tribute to some of the
core authors and researchers in the field of grey literature, who have set
standards and who worked throughout a period of rapid transition in the field of
information to maintain grey literature’s identity and importance. Three of the
authors in this current issue are GreyNet Award Recipients: Julia Gelfand
(1999), Daniela Luzi (2000), and most recently Marcus A. Banks (2006).

Editor's Note
Since TGJ’s launch in 2005,
The Grey Journal has been geared to colleges and schools with programs in
library and information science (LIS). Starting the coming academic year, ‘grey
literature’ will be offered as a special topics course accredited within
distance education settings. Towards this goal, a syllabus has been drafted and
courseware has been compiled by the Grey Literature Network Service. GreyNet’s
course module focuses on upper-level undergraduate and graduate students and
contains three component parts - assigned readings, case studies, and research
proposals. The assigned readings rely in part on content from The Grey Journal
as well as other resources online available via Library, Information Science
& Technology Abstracts (LISTA-FT), a full text database. Negotiations are
currently underway with LIS faculties and the initial results from this pilot
enterprise will be presented during a panel session on ‘Grey Literature and
Education’ at the Ninth International Conference on Grey Literature held this
December in Antwerp, Belgium. In the section, ‘On the New Front’ and overview
of the GL9 Conference Program and Timetable is available.
In this issue of TGJ titled
“Academic and Scholarly Grey”, the first three articles deal with theses and
dissertations, belonging to the more traditional types of grey literature.
However, even these document types have undergone significant change in format
due to the electronic environments in which they are currently produced and
archived. The next two articles in this thematic issue address models for
archiving and publishing in the academic sector. And, the final article in this
issue concludes with a research project that recently received a three-year
grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. This
research project will no doubt serve as a model in the scientific and technical
assessment of grey literature for policy and decision making in sectors of
government, academics, as well as, business and industry.

Tue 17/04/2007 7:13 PM JESSE@LISTSERV.UTK.EDU
The new issue of Information
Research is now accessible from http://InformationR.net/ir/ - here's the Editorial. For those
interested, we still have a need for more copy-editors/proof-readers. If you are interested, get in touch - see the
case study in this issue for another view on the value of involvement in open
access publishing.
Introduction
My call in the Editorial for
the last issue for help with copy-editing the papers for the journal resulted
in three volunteers: Eli Guinnee, Lauren Goodchild and Peta Wellstead -
located, interestingly, respectively, in the
And, while we are on
volunteers, thanks to Elena Maceviciute for link-checking and to Pedro Dias and
Jose Vicente Rodriguez for the Spanish abstracts.
We have also started using
Open Journal Systems for all submissions and I hope that this will prevent the
occasional item from slipping through the net and failing to be reviewed. It
seems to be working well, with only one or two minor problems. If you wish to
submit a paper, go to the site <http://nile.lub.lu.se/ojs/index.php/infores/>
, register as an Author and then follow the instructions for submitting a
paper. The general rules for the preparation of papers are on that site, as
well as at the Instructions for Authors <http://informationr.net/ir/author1.html> location.
In this issue
This issue is an almost
50:50 split between papers on activity theory for the thematic issue and those
on a variety of topics, which have been submitted in the normal way. The
activity theory papers are the subject of another editorial by Guest Editor,
Dr. Mark Spasser, so I shall refrain from comment here, except to that Mark for
his work on behalf of the journal and also to remark upon one of the items,
which is not a paper, but a full-length book—a
first for the journal.
The book, Human activity, by
Benny Karpatschof, is not seeing its first publication; it was published
originally, in a small edition, by the Dansk Psykologisk Forlag and its
publication here was suggested by Prof. Birger Hjørland of the
The 'non-thematic' papers in
the issue cover a wide range of topics, as usual: one is in Portuguese (our
first in this language) and one is in Spanish. The Portuguese paper deals with
stemming algorithms for the Portuguese language and comes from
The English language papers
are equally diverse, covering factors that affect the implementation of
information technology in the financial services industry; the dynamics of
community network development in the north-east
The Reviews section includes
a review of the second edition of Donald Case's now standard work on Looking
for information, now covering more than 1,000 sources on the subject of
information seeking behaviour, as well as reviews of a wide range of books of
interest to the 'information' field. We also have a review of a piece of
Web-ware (again, a first for the journal), TiddlyWiki <http://www.tiddlywiki.com/> , which is
a very easy to use tool, requiring the download of only a single Web page,
which then serves as the template for your own wiki. I've used this to create a
database of the abstracts and editorials <http://informationr.net/ir/inforesearchwiki.html> in the current volume of the journal as a
demo of what can be done.
As announced in the last issue,
we now have a longish pause before the final issue of Volume 12 in October,
with the first issue of Volume 13 coming in March, 2008.

programs are charged with critically examining and transmitting the ethics and
values of the information professions. In an age of rapid change, traditional values are subjected to new
pressures and are increasingly challenged by emerging technologies and new social
orders. How are these challenges being addressed in the LIS curriculum?
We seek submissions of
approximately 2,500-3,500 words that explore this question. We are particularly interested in
submissions that look toward identifying and addressing intercultural
information ethics in their complex technological, economic, political,
ideological, legal, philosophical, social, and/or cultural contexts.
Complete submission
guidelines can be found at

Fri 13/07/2007 6:03 AM H-INFO@H-NET.MSU.EDU CFP: Journal of Library Metadata
CALL FOR PAPERS: JOURNAL OF
LIBRARY METADATA
The Journal of Library
Metadata (JLM) is a peer-reviewed journal publishing articles on all aspects of
metadata applications in libraries. The journal is published quarterly by The
Haworth Press, Inc.
Previously titled the
Journal of Internet Cataloging, after a change in title and editorship, JLM
will now focus on metadata, an exciting, timely subject of importance to all
libraries. The journal will publish
three categories of articles: standard, peer-reviewed articles; shorter,
scholarly, non-peer reviewed articles; and short viewpoint articles.
These articles will cover
all aspects of metadata applications in libraries, including:
Application profiles
Best practices
Controlled vocabularies
Crosswalking of metadata and
interoperability Digital libraries and metadata Display of search results
Federated repositories Federated searching Folksonomies Individual metadata
schemes Institutional repository metadata Metadata content standards Metadata
harvesting Ontologies Preservation metadata Resource Description Framework
Resource discovery and metadata Search engines and metadata SKOS Stochastic vs.
deterministic searching Tagging and tag clouds Topic maps Visual image and
moving image metadata
Categories of Articles
Please consider writing and
submitting an article that falls into one of the following three categories:
Peer-reviewed articles
(original research, scholarly manuscripts), which should be 10-50 typed pages,
double-spaced.
Short, scholarly,
non-peer-reviewed articles, often practical in nature (for example, describing
a particular library metadata implementation). These should range from
500-2,000 words, with limited citations to other resources.
Upbeat Viewpoint articles
giving the author’s opinion on a timely topic related to library metadata
applications. These should range from 500-2,000 words and may or may not
contain citations. Focus should be on improvements or solutions instead of
negative aspects of an existing system, standard, or service.
For more information please
visit the Journal of Library Metadata web site at: http://jlm.haworthpress.com.
Please direct all inquiries
and article proposals to:

Knowledge Organization (KO)
Devoted to Concept Theory,
Classification, Indexing and Knowledge Representation
Official Quarterly Journal
of the International Society for Knowledge Organization (ISKO)
Published by ERGON-Verlag,
Würzburg,
Knowledge Organization is an
international refereed quarterly journal that publishes scholarly papers and
reports related to all aspects of knowledge organization, which we define
broadly as the conceptual ordering of knowledge. Beginning with vol. 34 (2007)
KO is now published online.
Scope of KO: Our journal is
devoted to questions of the adequate structuring and construction of ordering
systems, and on the problems of their use in providing access to information
contents of literature, data, or other objects of scientific interest.
Contributions: (1) clarify theoretical foundations (general ordering theory,
philosophical foundations of knowledge and its artifacts, theoretical bases of
classification, data analysis and reduction); (2) describe practical operations
associated with indexing and classification, as well as applications of
classification systems and thesauri, manual and machine indexing; (3) trace the
history of knowledge organization; (4) discuss questions of education and
training in classification; and (5) problems of terminology in general and with
respect to special fields.
Aims of KO: Knowledge
Organization is a forum for all those interested in the organization of
knowledge on a universal or a domain-specific scale, using concept-analytical
or concept-synthetical approaches, as well as quantitative and qualitative
methodologies. Knowledge Organization also addresses the intellectual and
automatic compilation and use of classification systems and thesauri in all
fields of knowledge, with special attention being given to the problems of
terminology.
The contents of this journal
are indexed and abstracted in Referativnyi Zhurnal Informatika and in the
following online databases: Information Science Abstracts, INSPEC, Library and
Information Science Abstracts (LISA), Library Literature, PASCAL, Social

Library Philosophy and Practice
Special issue
isef@listserv.csu.edu.au Mon 18/06/2007 10:27 AM Library Philosophy and Practice
We are pleased to announce
that the journal Library Philosophy and Practice has published a special issue
entitled "Shape Shifters: Librarians Evolve Yet Again in the Age of Google." The special issue, freely accessible at http://libr.unl.edu:2000/LPP/lppgoogle.htm <http://libr.unl.edu:2000/LPP/lppgoogle.htm> (and also at its mirror site, at http://www.webpages.uidaho.edu/~mbolin/lppgoogle.htm <http://www.webpages.uidaho.edu/%7Embolin/lppgoogle.htm>
), was guest edited by Mariana Regalado and Jill Cirasella of the Brooklyn
College Library.
Librarians have a long
history of responding professionally and creatively to changes in information
dissemination technology. It is no surprise, therefore, that they are adapting
themselves and their work to Google, its many modules, and its many
competitors. Articles in "Shape Shifters" explore how library
services, resources, and job activities are changing in response to these tools
and the paradigm shift they herald.

Isef@listserv.csu.edu.au [Isef] Special issue of
Library Review - Digital Libraries and theSemantic Web
Call for papers - Special
issue of Library Review
Issue theme: 'Digital
libraries and the Semantic Web: context, applications and research'
Details: http://cdlr.strath.ac.uk/LibraryReview/
--------------------------------
Submissions are sought for a
special issue of Library Review on the topic of 'Digital libraries and the
Semantic Web: context, applications and research'.
For many digital libraries or
cultural institutions, the Semantic Web offers an opportunity to better expose
valuable digital resources pertaining to research, culture or history, using
common standards and technologies in a collaborative and 'joined up' way.
Semantic Web technologies are capable of enhancing digital libraries or
repositories by facilitating improved user interfaces and human-computer
interaction, improved navigation and retrieval within heterogeneous document
environments, user profiling, personalisation and contextualisation, etc. Such
technologies also have the potential to solve or aid the management of problems
relevant to the LIS community, such as semantic interoperability, advanced
metadata and information integration, the management of large corpora of heterogeneous
digital resources, and so forth.
This special themed issue of
Library Review consolidates similarly themed conferences (e.g. the
International Conference on Semantic Web and Digital Libraries (ICSD-2007)) and
aims to demonstrate the relevance and application of Semantic Web technologies
to digital libraries, repositories, and the LIS community generally.
Submissions are welcome from
all interested parties and communities. Submissions may comprise research
papers, evaluation, case studies, and descriptions of innovative projects,
theoretical expositions, or reviews. Topics for submission could include, but
are by no means limited to:
* Digital library and
Semantic Web project case studies, best practice examples, etc.
* Innovative uses of RDF
applications such as Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS), Web Ontology
Language (OWL), Friend-of-a-Friend (FOAF), etc. within digital libraries or
similar environments
* Use of Semantic Web
techniques in the deployment of Networked Knowledge Organization Systems
(NKOS), including terminology services
* Large scale metadata
integration
* Knowledge organization and
ontologies (including the application of knowledge organization systems or
ontologies in interfaces to digital libraries)
* Reviews of Semantic Web
techniques and their actual (and potential) application within digital
libraries
* Ontological navigation and
inferencing/reasoning techniques
* Methodologies for ontology
management, evaluation, mapping, merging, integration, etc.
* Semantically rich
interfaces to digital libraries
* Management, use and
navigation of bibliographic data using Semantic Web technologies
* Semantic Web approaches to
information retrieval within digital libraries
* Storage, manipulation,
querying of RDF data
* Technology and Semantic
Web modelling tools
* Knowledge organization
systems and user interfaces at the crossroads
Owing to the aim of this
special issue, submissions on the above noted topics are encouraged to:
* Emphasise the practical
implications of Semantic Web research or developments for digital libraries and
repositories;
* Where possible, endeavour
to note the relevance of research findings for future digital library
management or service provision;
* Comment on areas of useful
overlap between the digital library and Semantic Web developments and how the
aims of each community can be furthered by increased collaboration.
Important dates are as
follows:
* Friday 5th October 2007:
deadline for submission of papers
* Monday 5th November 2007: acceptance
notification
* Friday 7th December 2007:
submission of 'camera ready' version (complete with reviewers'
revisions/changes)
* Spring 2008: publication
of special issue
For further submission
details see: http://cdlr.strath.ac.uk/LibraryReview/ or contact guest editor, George Macgregor ( george.macgregor@strath.ac.uk ).

Links between Libraries and
Museums: Investigating Museum-Library Collaboration in
HANNAH GIBSON, ANNE MORRIS, MARIGOLD
CLEEVE
Abstract. Various government bodies have
promoted library-museum collaboration in recent years but research is lacking
about common practices and experiences, and, in particular, what has worked and
what hasn't. The research presented in this paper addresses this gap.
The first part outlines
opinion and theory regarding library-museum collaboration as given in the
professional literature. The second part describes practical findings from
case-study investigations into public library-museum collaboration in
The paper concludes with
guidelines on how library-museum collaboration can occur successfully.

Abstract. Young adults form a significant
proportion of library users all over the world. In
A Call to Infuse Biographies
of Asia-Pacific LIS Giants into the Curriculum
BRENDAN LUYT AND
Abstract. In this article we argue that
LIS education in the Asia-Pacific region needs to develop an appreciation of
the role inspirational and communicative pedagogies could potentially play in
providing key leadership skills. Furthermore, we suggest that one way to do
this is through biographical narratives. At the end of the article we provide
three examples of librarian biographies that provide a number of important
lessons about the profession for future librarians.
Training for Digital
Reference: A South African Experience
CECILIA PENZHORN
Abstract. The ever-changing digital environment
has had significant impact on the scope and nature of reference work. The
question explored in this article is whether the necessary skills for efficient
digital reference librarianship are being taught in library schools. For
students to become effective practitioners in the digital environment they need
not only theoretical knowledge but also practical experience in the application
of digital reference technology. This article provides an overview of a
practical course in reference work that was developed at the Department of
Information Science,
Perceptions about Copyright
of Digital Content and its Effects on
Scholarship: A South African
Perspective
CHARLES A. MASANGO
Abstract. This paper examines the
different layers of protection that exist in digital content and how users and
corporate rights holders of information interpret the different protections.
From a South African perspective, this paper analyses librarians', managers'
of consortia, informed
users' and corporate rights holders'
perceptions and
misconceptions on the interpretation of copyright protection with regard to
digital content. It discusses the effects on the advancement of scholarship
implied by the interpretations on copyright accorded by librarians, users and
corporate rights holders to digital content. It concludes that in order to
better access digital content to promote scholarship, the education of what
copyright protects and knowledge of the terms and conditions of licensing
agreements is necessary.
Delivering Electronic
Resources at a
FRANK SOODEEN, JR
Abstract. This article examines the
options being employed at an academic library in the Caribbean, namely the
University of the West Indies, St. Augustine Campus,
Specifically , the focus is
on some of the issues related to establishing the appropriate infrastructure
for providing these services and the provision of details on the actual
interface design.
The methodology used for the
study phase included a review of relevant documentation, and interviews with
participants in collection development and access provision activities as well
as subject specialist librarians. Evaluation of the end user Web interface was
also undertaken. Using a combination of middleware scripts in Cold Fusion, a
backend database built on MySQL, this library has been able to provide a user
interface for easily identifying and accessing the electronic resources
relevant to the research needs of its clientele. Despite working with limited
resources, this developing country academic library is moving in the right
direction as far as managing its digital resources is concerned.
Technology-Enhanced Library
Services and the Librarian's Identity Crisis in Academic and Research Libraries
of
V. K. J. JEEVAN
Abstract. Libraries in
Libraries have progressively
adopted library automation software, CD-ROM data bases, and Web access to
electronic journals and digital libraries. With each advance in technology the
time of the user to retrieve information has shown a drastic reduction. The
emergence and increasing availability of the Internet and Web has led to a lot
of information outside the library tempting users to depend less on libraries
and to explore these alternate routes to fulfill their information needs. The
rise in number and variety of information resources and the inability of most
libraries to acquire/access them also leaves the libraries less able to meet
the needs of clients, forcing the library and staff to shy away from their new
roles.
Largely a service in many
institutions that does not enjoy the power of re search and teaching staff, the
plight of library professionals in many of these institutions results in low
morale and underperformance. This paper attempts to look into these issues and
the cultures and conflicts faced by users, libraries and librarians in academic
and research libraries in

Challenges of the
Approaching Knowledge Society: Major International Issues Facing LIS
Professionals
P.J. LOR AND J.J. BRITZ
Abstract. In the context of
the follow-up work arising from the World Summit on the Information Society
(WSIS), this paper attempts to answer the questions: Why should librarians and
information workers be involved in international advocacy? And what are the
international issues with which librarians should concern themselves? Special
attention is paid to the role of IFLA, as the main international body
representing the interests of librarians, and to the eleven WSIS "action
lines" set out in the 2003 Geneva Plan of action, along which much of the
current follow-up work is aligned. The concept of the Knowledge Society, and
more specifically four criteria for a Knowledge Society - ICT infrastructure,
information content, human intellectual capacity, and physical delivery
infrastructure - are used as a framework for the answers we give to these
questions. A brief discussion of these areas and some comments on the WSIS
process precede a broad outline of the international issues facing library and
information professionals.
The Library-Community
Convergence Framework for Community Action: Libraries as Catalysts of Social
Change
BHARAT MEHRA AND RAMESH
SRINIVASAN
Abstract. This paper
presents a library-community convergence framework (LCCF) to extend the role of
all libraries to participate more fully in community action and enhance their
function as proactive catalysts of social change, as compared to a sometimes
perceived role of bystanders. Although the paper highlights deliberations about
the involvement of public libraries in their local communities, and shares
experiences of community interactions between library and information
professionals and minority and underserved groups in American academic library
settings, yet the proposed framework of convergence between the
library-community and the methods/ approaches of community action are
applicable across a variety of library contexts. The paper discusses select
application of the LCCF for community action in two qualitative research
studies, with local immigrant communities and sexual minorities, that use
methods pioneered in ethnographic outreach and participatory action research
(PAR) respectively. The results of these studies show that the LCCF is
applicable in the development of various forms of services in different library
environments. Ethnographic methods in the first study provide understanding of
cross-cultural issues and uncover how local immigrant classifications can be
induced from an ethnographic perspective to generate library classifications and
information services that are locally relevant and participant- empowering. PAR
ideologies in the second study underlie implementation of library and
information interventions and community action while partnering with local
sexual minorities and their allies, to address specific and contextualized
community facets in ways that may promote communitywide social changes. Points
of intersection from the two studies help identify key elements in the LCCF
framework that can extend the role of all kinds of libraries as leaders and
cultural planners of progressive community-based action.
Developing Information
Literate Off-Campus Learners: Pedagogical Issues and Current Practice
ROBERT NEWTON
Abstract. This study
examined the potential and actual roles that academic librarians play in
supporting the development of information literate off-campus learners. It
reviews the literature, concentrating in particular on issues related to the
institutional context in which off-campus learners are supported and the teaching
role of the academic librarian. A series of 12 interviews and a questionnaire
survey of 70 academic librarians provided the basis for a detailed analysis of
the current situation in
