Is there any way to get access to grey lit, apart from the searches aviable though the internet, do you think it worth just getting in touch with companys and asking if they have info / reports on a certain subject
:face-huh:
I think it would really depend on what you are trying to find out. OASIS is pretty good, and has a few methods of searching but obviously it doesn't have every report ever produced on it. If it is a particular area rather than a subject then the local HER/SMR, the Archaeological Investigations Project is also very good. If you are looking at a subject, say a particular type of pottery it would be quite difficult. Contacting units directly might work but the larger ones would probably struggle to look up information on every project they have ever done. I'm probably telling you what you already know! There really should be a better system for finding this sort of information!
