Social Sciences - Government / Politics / Democracy | | English term or phrase: Grey materials | "Researchers and librarians will become the custodians of the materials being produced for educators and citizens. These educators and citizens require information about the provenance of a publication. But often, this is not available, because materials used for educational purposes in this enterprise are ephemeral or grey materials. In addition, little thought is given to the durability of the materials, so packages are prepared in which a manual might have all the suggested information that follows, but its component parts may not."
I'm not sure about the meaning of "Grey" in this context. |
