Over The Grey Lit Café

Grey (or gray) literature – 'grey lit' for short – includes such forms of communication as reports, white papers, dissertations, newsletters, slide decks, blogs, and podcasts. The Grey Lit Café explores the opportunities and benefits that grey lit provides for professionals and researchers. The podcast is directed by Anthony Haynes, produced by Dr Bart Hallmark, and published by Frontinus Ltd, a communications agency focused on engineering, infrastructure, sustainability, and research. Frontinus provides consultancy, editing, writing, and training services. If you're creating some grey literature and would like some support, contact us via our website, frontinus.org.uk.

aflevering Spineless Wonders: the power of print unbound artwork

Spineless Wonders: the power of print unbound

Spineless Wonders is the splendid title for a splendid exhibition at the University of London's Senate House Library - an exhibition of unbound material in myriad formats, spanning five hundred years of printing. This episode reviews the exhibition with its three curators: * Tansy Barton (Academic Librarian) * Christos Fotelis (Conservator) * Leila Kassir (Academic Librarian) We consider how the exhibition came about, how exhibits were selected, what the aim of the exhibition is, and which exhibits constitute the curators' favourites.  And, as a by-product of our discussion we reflect on established themes of the podcast, namely how grey literature is defined and what relationship it has to ephemera. Details of the exhibition, which continues to 15 November 2025, together with supporting digital resources, may be found on the University of London's website, here [https://www.london.ac.uk/about/services/senate-house-library/exhibitions/spineless-wonders].
