Background Since 1999 the New York Academy of Medicine (NYAM) Library has been aggregating grey literature, through print and web, in health policy, public health, health of vulnerable and special populations, global health, and aging. The focus is on research materials, not consumer health information. The Grey Literature Report (www.greylit.org) is produced bimonthly by the NYAM Library alerting readers to current grey literature publications. In addition to the newly developed database, all resources are added and indexed in the Online Catalog.www.greylit.org
