Information Literacy and Librarians' Experiences with Teaching Grey Literature to Medical Students and Healthcare Practitioners

A presentation delivered at the 10th International Conference on Grey Literature (Amsterdam) by 2 cancer care librarians in Alberta.  Via a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) approach, the librarians were able to gain insight into a user's understanding of grey literature.  In addition, grey literature can be seen as a self-learning initiative, providing the experience of learning a topic on one's own and applying it to real-world situations.

The complete presentation is available here.
