Discovering Grey Literature has unique challenges, and can be a vitally important part of a comprehensive literature review. This course will review the benefits of Grey Literature specifically for Nursing research and practice, and discuss some of the challenges that are faced when trying to discover Grey Literature. Available sources for discovering Grey Nursing literature will be reviewed, and participants will be shown practical strategies to successfully search for Grey Literature.

On completion of this class, participants will be able to:

  • Describe benefits of grey literature that may enhance their search services
  • Describe challenges of grey literature that they are likely to face
  • Search for grey literature in a variety of nursing specific resources, including conference proceedings, government documents, theses, protocols, and other resources specific to nursing specialties
  • Identify opportunities in their work for grey literature searching, after learning about case studies

You will earn 3 MLA Continuing Education Credits at the completion of this class.
