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.

Grey literature which is dealing with the recent research outcomes has been neglected because of its difficulties in getting production information and collecting full-text. The research is about the characteristics, types and distribution tendencies of recently spot lighted electronic grey literature. It also analysed the current situation of producing and supplying the domestic electronic grey literature. The result showed that the level of providing the grey literature differed depending on the organization at present and, as a whole, didn't reach the level to fully satisfy the user's information needs. The research introduces the problems in utilizing electronic grey literature base on its results and specifically provides the ways to activate the use of grey literature.

Despite of the importances, grey literatures are often overlooked as a resource in libraries because they have always had the reputation of being obscure and difficult to locate. Thus, an information system and network for the management of grey literature is essential to the improvement of Korean R&D in science and technology. The Results of the research are as follow : - Declare the clear definitions and types of grey literatures - Suggest the utilizing methods of grey literatures - Identify the major functions or requirements of National Information Center on Grey Literature.

Grey literature is a non-Public data only for nonprofit users. Some of the major grey literatures are technical report, Proceeding, and thesis. For their Promptitude, these sources are core of research and development. According to a research on the academic qualify. grey literatures have higher usage rates than books-articles excluded. Also, the usage of foreign grey literature by librarians of research organization was investigated. The result was that over 90 percent of the researchers were demanding the original text of the foreign grey literature. In addition, librarians pointed out that the time-consuming problem and the lack of published information was a hindrance to using grey literature. For the centralized management of grey literature. they wanted an alliance structure.

Thesis is very valuable primary and secondary infomation resource in that it contains systematic research methods, comprehensive and detailed data, and creative research results in specific areas. But thesis has been neglected in many libraries and information centers due to the problems of accessibility and obtainabiliy problems as one of a Grey Literature. As information technology and networks have been developing rapidly, the digitalization of thesis full-text and the possibility of online access arc also increasing. In this study, value and the characteristics of thesis is firstly reviewed. Secondly, by analyzing the current digitalization state of some domestic and foreign universities and institutions, some principles for the effective electronic transmission and effective management of thesis are suggested as one of knowledge management. Furthermore useful information is suggested for the users in terms of the online access and obtainability.

지식경영과 전자정보환경에서 회색문헌의 중요성이 새롭게 부각되고 있다. 그 중요성에 비해 도서관이나 정보센터에서의 회색문헌의 수집 및 관리가 소홀했다. 본 연구에서는 먼저 전통적 회색문헌의 개념과 더불어 인터넷과 정보기술의 발달에 따른 회색문헌의 변화를 살피고자 한다. 또한 지식경영과 회색문헌과의 관계, 회색문헌 관리시 고려사항과 생산주체별 회색문헌 DB 구축사례를 제시함으로써 회색문헌과 관련된 도서관 및 정보센터의 역할을 살피고자 한다.

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.

The COVID 19 pandemic has led to a new global recession and is still causing a lot of issues because of the delays in the employment of people. This scenario has severe consequences for many countries' labor markets in the world. This problem's complexity and importance requires an integrated method of subjective and objective evaluation rather than intuitive decisions. This research aims to investigate sustainable indexes for assessing the unemployment problem by using a Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Model (MCDM). Grey theory and Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (GDEMATEL) are deployed to transform the experts' opinions into quantitative data. The analysis based on 20 crucial criteria is employed to determine the weights of sustainability of unemployment problems. The results revealed that the top ten of determinants are Economic growth, Industrialization, Foreign direct investment, Real GDP per capita, Education level, Trade Openness, Capacity Utilization Rate, Urbanization, Employability skills, Education system expansion, which have the most significant effects on the unemployment rate under COVID 19 impacts. Furthermore, GDEMATEL could effectively assess the sustainable indicators for unemployment problems in "deep and wide" aspects. The study proposes the Grey MCDM model, contributes to the literature, provides future research directions, and helps policymakers and researchers achieve the best solutions to the unemployment problems under "economic shocks."

Background: In Korea, the problem of physician workforce imbalances has been a debated issue for a long time. This study aimed to draw key lessons and policy implications to Korea by analyzing projection models of physician demand/supply among five countries. Methods: We adopted theoretical framework and analyzed detail indicators used in projection models of demand/supply comparatively among countries. A systematic literature search was conducted using PubMed and Google Scholar with key search terms and it was complimented with hand searching of grey literature in Korean or English. Results: As a results, Korea has been used a supply-based traditional approach without taking various variables or environmental factors influencing on demand/supply into consideration. The projection models of USA and Netherlands which considered the diversity of variables and political issues is the most closest integrated approach. Based on the consensus of stakeholder, the evolved integrated forecasting approach which best suits our nation is needed to minimize a wasteful debate related to physician demand/supply. Also it is necessary to establish the national level statistics indices and database about physician workforce. In addition, physician workforce planning will be discussed periodically. Conclusion: We expect that this study will pave the way to seek reasonable and developmental strategies of physician workforce planning.
