On Track: Finding and using grey literature & policy documents Online
Overview
Grey literature, including policy documents, can be highly useful sources across many subject areas but are not typically available through the resources used for academic literature searches (such as the library catalogue or Google Scholar). They can be tricky to identify & locate despite being mostly available open access. This session outlines what grey literature is, why it could be important for your research, and gives you an opportunity to use some of the tools for finding these sources.
