Objective: As access to information grows in tandem with the growth of the Internet, access to grey literature also increases. Because little is known about the use of grey literature in nursing journals, the authors investigated the prevalence and types of grey literature citations in top nursing journals.Methods: We analyzed all citations (n=52,116) from articles published in 2011 in 6 top nursing journals selected from the Medical Library Association’s Nursing and Allied Health Resource Section’s 2012 “Selected List of Nursing Journals.” Grey literature citations were identified and categorized by type.Results: Grey literature accounted for 10.4% of citations across all 6 journals. Publications from governments (54.3%) and corporate organizations (26.8%) were the most common types of grey literature.Conclusion: The substantial citation of grey literature in nursing journals shows that nursing scholars seek and use this category of information. These findings have implications for teaching and learning among nursing researchers and the information professionals who serve the nursing research community.

The Internet and electronic mail increasingly offer the research community opportunities that it did not previously have. Access to information has increased as has access to and discussion with those working in similar areas. One other aspect of ‘cyberspace’ which presents enormous possibilities to the research community, currently in its infancy, is the use of the Internet to reach individuals as research subjects. In particular, there may be significant research benefits to be gleaned where the group being researched is normally difficult to reach and/or the issues being researched are of a particularly sensitive nature. This paper outlines some recent survey research using the Internet as the interface between researcher and researched. The target group, illicit ‘drug dealers’, are difficult to access under normal conditions and contacting a spread of such individuals across international borders was previously prohibitive. A discussion of sampling issues is undertaken which concludes that the Internet can be a valuable source of indicative as opposed to easily generalizable data. A practical guide to undertaking research via the Internet is also included.

The Internet provides individuals with new avenues for knowledge sharing and collaboration, two key ingredients for the production of novelty. Despite the unprecedented access to information and potential collaborators provided by the Internet, however, organizations remain the preeminent site of invention, presumably due to the tremendous resources, technology, and expertise at their disposal. Given the presumption that improved access to the Internet cultivates connectivity and novelty among individuals, on one hand, and the resources organizations can leverage to create novelty, on the other hand, we ask whether Internet access plays a role in the incidence of collective invention for independent inventors and organizational inventors in the knowledge economy. Regression models based on a sample of metropolitan areas in the United States predict that increases in household Internet access increases collective invention for organizational patent inventors, but not independent patent inventors.

This dissertation examines the extent to which libraries can provide equal and unhampered access to Internet-accessible information resources on a global scale. It is concerned with restrictions on access to information via the Internet in libraries, and it specifically investigates access to Internet-accessible information through web sites and online databases, and via communication-based mediums such as email. The overall aim of the dissertation is to identify a set of barriers that exist on a global scale, and to examine these barriers and assess the extent to which the international library community is able to overcome them. The research takes as its starting point the rapid growth of the Internet as an information provider in the last ten years. It takes place against a background of uncertain global security and a globalised economy that is increasingly taking advantage of Internet technologies to facilitate its operation. In light of this, the first part of the dissertation constructs a theoretical framework which allows for an examination of the role of the Internet as an information provider in a global arena where the forces of the nation state and big business are able to influence Internet development. Libraries are incorporated into this framework as providers of access to information via the Internet. The rights of library users to access information on the Internet are examined from a human rights perspective which enables the dissertation to assess differences in freedom of access to information on the Internet around the world. The second part of the dissertation empirically examines barriers to Internet-accessible information resources in light of this framework, using a combination of survey and interview work to expose differences in levels of Internet access and development across countries. These differences are then analysed to address the extent to which access barriers exist on a worldwide scale, as well as the extent to which they affect libraries as providers of Internet access. It is argued that as Internet infrastructure and use within a country develops, more obstacles to accessing information become apparent, and the extent to which libraries are able to overcome these obstacles is dependent on their ability to influence decision-making processes at a number of levels, from the local community up to levels of international governance.
