Going Grey...

If you've come across the term grey literature and were uncertain what it meant, you're probably not alone. By its very nature it is difficult to define but very roughly speaking... it's literature that is relatively difficult to find i.e. more diffiicult than locating an academic article through a database for example. The term is often covers reports and guidelines issued through organisations.

I've just added a grey literature database called PsycEXTRA to the library's Other Websites for Health and Medicine webpage (which is accessible via the main health and medicine page). On this page, you will find links taking you to grey literature across a wide range of health topics.

PsycEXTRA features mostly full-text documents which arfe written by professionals but are not found in journals.
