FOREWORD __________________________________________________________________________ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The theme 'New Frontiers' captures the real spirit of The Fourth International Conference on Grey Literature, whose goals and objectives are reflected in the topics comprising the main sessions. At the Third International Conference in this series, not only was the definition of grey literature redefined but also the direction research should take in the 21st Century. Grey Literature "That which is produced on all levels of government, academics, business and industry in print and electronic formats, but which is not controlled by commercial publishers" moves the field of grey literature beyond established borders into new frontiers, where lines of demarcation between conventional/non-conventional and published/ unpublished literature cease to obstruct further development and expansion. At the same time, this new definition challenges commercial publishers to rethink their position on grey literature. The First Session at GL'99 confronts these and other issues. The papers will demonstrate the value of grey literature for researchers, policy makers, and information professionals in diverse disciplines and sectors of the global information community. The Second Session will confront the challenges facing librarians and information technicians in publishing and archiving electronic grey literature for subsequent full-text retrieval and document delivery. The Third Session will address issues of authorship, copyright, and ownership of grey literature. Matters that affect the very processes of knowledge generation and information dissemination. Your intellectual contribution, either by way of a conference paper or as a conference participant pursuing discussion and debate are genuinely welcome. Dr. Dominic J. Farace Program & Conference Director __________________________________________________________________________ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2.
