ISBN 978-90-77484-10-4 © TextRelease, 2008 Foreword Foreword “Grey Foundations in Information Landscape” The Ninth International Conference on Grey Literature sought to map the infrastructure in which grey literature is embedded. This concerted drill in the field of information also stands to further a framework for shared understanding. GL9 surveyed the information landscape by exploiting newfound and existing grey resources, by utilizing tools developed in part or whole for processing grey literature, and by clearly demonstrating uses and applications for research and policy driven settings. The title of the conference “Grey Foundations in Information Landscape” encompassed five main themes: • Tools for Publishing, Archiving, and Accessing Grey Literature • Use and Impact of Grey Literature in Scholarly Communication • Grey Literature in Central and Eastern Europe • New Discoveries in Grey Literature for Research Communities • Education and Grey Literature The conference venue provided information professionals with a variety of platforms for presenting and communicating their research results. Plenary and Panel sessions were held in the Antwerp Provincial Council Hall. And, in the meeting area adjacent to the lobby, an ‘Information Walk-Thru’ accommodated Product and Service Reviews as well as Poster presentations. On behalf of the Conference Host and Sponsors, the Program Committee, and Chairpersons, I would like to thank the authors and co-authors for their content contributions to these proceedings. Likewise, I welcome those reading these conference proceedings to voice their comments and/or recommendations either directly to the authors or to GreyNet, Grey Literature Network Service. Finally, I would like to bring to your attention the recent Call-for-Papers for GL10, the Tenth International Conference on Grey Literature, which will be held in Science Park Amsterdam on 8-9 December 2008.
