Grey literature includes an extensive range of material that cannot be found easily through conventional channels such as publishers but which is frequently original and usually recent. It is produced more quickly and has greater flexibility. Grey Literature comprises newsletters, theses, project reports, bulletins and so on. It has tremendous importance in all fields of the universe of knowledge but it is particularly significant in the fields of science and technology.

Every year an amount of fifty billion rupees is spent on research and development in India.It is the third largest scientific and technical manpower in the world. It accounts for 3% of the world’s publication output. It is also estimated that there are 3,000-4,000 active scientists in India working in about 2000 laboratories [2]. These organizations generate a significant number of internal research publications including technical reports, manuals, progress reports, presentations etc. Such documents contain very valuable and often detailed information such as observations, conclusions, analyses and primary data, which at times constitute the key research output and intellectual capital of the laboratories. These publications are not accessible to the researchers outside of that particular organization.
