IATUL proceedings (new series). 2(1993), S.75-84

Abstract

Paper presented at the 1992 IATUL seminar in Tallinn, Estonia: 'Universal availability of publications in science and technology including those on the history and philosophy of grey literature' on UAP policy and practice. Describes the historical development of electronic databases onto current media, the majority of which are CD-ROM. An estimated 4.000 CD-ROM titles will be available by 1992. Describes grey literature and the service from database vendors. Personal computers in educational establishments are powerful enough to build databases outside university libraries that remain unavailable to the academic community. Presents a survey on the existence of such grey literature at South African universities and technikons. Discusses the origin of the databases, the type of source database, subject matter of the database, frequency by which databasesare updated, user guides accompanying the databases, hardware, availability of the databases and usefulness of the databases
