Local government information: a ‘grey’ area

Abstract

It has been estimated that in 1980 local government in Britain produced about 50,000 documents. In the same year the British National Bibliography included 42,000 publications and of these a mere 250 emanated from local authorities. This gives a percentage of 0.5 per cent appearance in the BNB and shows the size of the problem.
