Recenzii
"Do not let the size of this book fool you, as its 128 pages are filled with a great deal of information ... I must admit that when I initially approached this book, collection management of grey literature was not high on my radar or so I thought, but as I proceeded through the book I began to think about what is going into our own university repository, materials in our archives and special collections, as well as some of the requests we are now receiving from students, faculty, and scholars doing research, much of which falls into the category of grey literature. As a librarian who has been working in collection management for more than 20 years, I recommend this book to others working in collection development and management, as well as those in technical services."

"Awkwardly, and despite the work of organizations such as GreyNet International, there are no standardized approaches to describing, safekeeping and finding GL. This is the reason this book is so valuable ... Should you read it? Certainly. This field is only going to become more important. And it’s a pleasure to read. The editing is tight, the contents are engaging, the layout is helpful, there are notes and references throughout, plus a useful index. Who should read it? Anyone with an interest in the future of organized information, and that’s us."
— Journal of the Australian Library and Information Association
"Provides readers a thorough overview ... Any librarian who reads this informative book, regardless of the department in which they work (e.g., technical services, reference/instruction, etc.), will have a better understanding of what grey literature is and its importance to the work of scholars and researchers."
