Printed and bound in Great Britain by Wardour Publishing & Design. INTRODUCTION When, 15 or so years ago, this Institute was founded by a group of former individual members of the Stock Exchange, it established objectives not only to set and assess professional standards, but also to sustain and develop more widely the standards of behaviour epitomised by the Exchange’s motto ‘My Word is My Bond”. To this end, the Institute set a Code of Conduct to help its members meet these standards. Late in 2004, we decided that this Code was in need of revision, to adapt to changing market circumstances. At the same time Lord George had become Master of the Guild of International Bankers and had determined that he would mark his period in office by encouraging the development of a set of Principles of Behaviour to be adopted by the membership. When this work had been completed Lord George, knowing of this Institute’s work in this area, prompted the Guild to discuss its work with us.

Towards a Prague Definition of Grey Literature Joachim Schöpfel Charles-de-Gaulle University Lille 3 Abstract The most common definition of grey literature, the so-called „Luxembourg definition‟, was discussed and approved during the 3rd International Conference on Grey Literature in 1997. In 2004, at the 6th International Conference on Grey literature in New York City, a postscript was added. The main characteristic of this definition is its economic perspective on grey literature, based on business, publishing and distribution models of the disappearing Gutenberg galaxy. With the changing research environment and new channels of scientific communication, it becomes clear that grey literature needs a new conceptual framework. Research method: Our project applies a two-step-methodology: (1) A state of the art of terminology and definitions of the last two decades, based on contributions to the GL conference series (1993-2008) and on original articles published in The Grey Journal (2005-2010).
