The New York Academy of Medicine will host the Sixth International Conference on Grey Literature (GL6) on 6-7 December 2004 at the NYAM Conference Center located on New York’s Museum Mile along Central Park. This sixth international conference in the GL-Series is entitled "Work on Grey in Progress”. Grey Literature has become a daily work experience in public, academic, and business sectors. In the span of a decade - owing to Internet technology - grey literature has moved from uncharted and untapped resources to the mainstream, flow of information. This information revolution has tremendous impact on the landscape and environment in which grey literature is produced, processed, and exploited. Workflow patterns embedded in grey require innovation by new and longstanding stakeholders. GL6 offers information professionals a global platform on which to showcase best practices and benchmarks i.e. “work on grey in progress”.
Previous conferences in the GL-Series were held at the KNAW Conference Center, Amsterdam 2003; Kellogg Conference Center, Washington D.C. 1999; Jean Monnet EU-Building, Luxembourg 1997; CUA Conference Center, Washington D.C. 1995; and RAI Congress Centre, Amsterdam 1993.
