Statement from the Bioscience, Natural Resources & Public Health Library about harmful, offensive, or discredited Library materials.

Grey Literature generally refers to publications not produced by commercial publishers, including reports (pre-prints, preliminary progress and advanced reports, technical reports, market research reports, etc.), theses, conference proceedings, and other documents. They are often produced by government entities, research institutions, or NGOs/IGOs.

The Library's Public Health Subject Guides web guide consists of web pages by topic. Each page consists of annotated lists of organizations, agencies, databases, and publications. Topics include: 
    • Environmental Health 
    • International Health 
    • Food/Nutrition 
    • Maternal and Child Health 
    • Statistical/Data Resources 
and many more.

Google and other search engines can be useful for finding grey literature. Improve your search using: 
• Quotes for phrase searching: 
"social marketing" 
• Site: to specify a particular site or domain: 
"social marketing" site:.org (for a domain search); "social marketing" site:cdcnpin.org (for a specific site search) 
• Boolean search statements (eg, OR): 
("social marketing" OR "audience segmentation")

Note: If you find links to government websites or data that no longer work, or you suspect that information on a website has changed, you can use the Wayback Machine from the Internet Archive to view a previous version of the website. Internet Archive was involved in a special 'end of term' archiving project for U.S. government websites. Other efforts to archive data and information that may have been taken down are summarized here.
