Beyond the Pale: Researching Non-Text Resources and Grey Literature
Jinfo Article
12th June 2013
Abstract
Grey literature is material created by government, academics, non-profits and industry that exists outside the traditional publishing model. Non-text grey literature includes a wide variety of items, from audiovisual media and presentations to technical reports and tweets. Finding non-text research resources is not easy, many of the formats are non-traditional text, image or multimedia-based so they are not easily found using traditional database search tools. Cindy Elliott provides some suggestions on starting your search to find non-text grey literature.
