Seeing the Whole Picture: How Grey Literature Enhances Your Worldview

Universities produce knowledge, but they are not the only organisations trying to understand the world. Governments, businesses, charities, and think tanks all produce research that also shapes policy, professional practice, and public debate.  
 
Join the Liaison Librarian team for a Skills Seminar on grey literature and its place in the wider knowledge ecosystem. By attending, you’ll learn who produces grey literature, why it exists, and how it can both enrich and complicate academic research. We’ll consider questions of authority, credibility, and expertise, so you can think more critically about how knowledge is produced and how it is used to influence decision-making in the world.
