The GreyGuide offers information professionals, practitioners, and students common ground for good practice in grey literature. GreyGuide seeks to capture proposed as well as published practices dealing with the supply and demand sides of grey literature. This is a collaborative project involving GreyNet International and ISTI-CNR Pisa, Italy. The launch of the GreyGuide Repository took place in December 2013 at the Fifteenth International Conference on Grey Literature. Since then, the acquisition of both proposed and published good practices are underway. The GreyGuide as an online forum is currently in a developmental stage and is influenced by the changes that have taken place in GreyNet’s new infrastructure commencing in January 2014 and motivated by the Pisa Declarationon Policy Development for Grey Literature Resources published in May 2014. GreyNet is currently in the process of migrating web-based content to the GreyGuide and in effect, the GreyGuide will come to serve as GreyNet’s web access portal. This migration of records and content has already begun with the GreySource Index as well as the GL16 Conference Proposals. Later this year, the Who’s Who in Grey Literature will follow as a fifth collection in the GreyGuide. These collections will be accessible via combined search and browse capability and their metadata as well as full-text content can be online harvested.
