The purposes of the study were to identify the characteristics and types of grey literatures, to investigate the factors restricting the sharing of grey literatures in Korea, and to make recommendations for the efficient collection and utilization system of grey literatures being produced and managed by either government agencies or government-supported research institutes in Korea. A survey instrument was designed to measure the current status of grey literature management systems and to elicit expert opinions from information professionals in information centers for an efficient system of grey literatures. It was found that information professionals considered the technical reports as the most important type of grey literatures, but maps and dissertations as the least important type of information value. Related to the participation for the central system of grey literatures, many respondents preferred to utilize the grey literatures owned by other information centers, but they showed a neutral interest level in sharing their information centers' grey literatures with other centers.

과학기술분야의 연구개발에 있어서 회색문헌이라고 불리우는 자료에 대한 중요성이 증가하면서 회색문헌을 수집하고 처리하여 필요로 하는 수요자에게 적절히 배포하는 것에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 또한 인터넷과 정보기술의 발달로 수집한 회색문헌을 데이터베이스화하거나 원문을 제공하는 시스템도 증가하고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 회색문헌에 대한 정의, 종류, 속성과 더불어 선진각국의 회색문헌 관련 현황을 파악하여 앞으로의 회색문헌 관련 사업의 방향을 제시하고자 한다.
