Readers will learnan overview of grey literature that discusses its importance to researchers, scholars, and students;collections policies for selection and deselection, complete with a suggested workflow;information about vendors, OA, and other aspects of acquisitions;guidance on cataloging, such as collection categories in the public-facing catalog, and preservation; andmethods for promoting grey literature in library collections, including institutional repositories; andtips for marketing, branding, outreach, and best communication practices for colleagues, administrators, and patrons.
