The new person heading up our Boston Public Library should be
knowledgeable about grey literature

Of particular concern are government do***ents of our city that for
too long have been inaccessible. We need to have our public library
able to develop in depth collections of our public city do***ents.
A Mayoral Directive and City Council Order are needed for the more
routine transmittal of our public city do***ents to our public library
so researchers can study our city more effectively. That appears
unlikely to happen.
Now, our BPL Government Do***ents Department collects city do***ents
in an on the fly manner leaving gaps in collections that should be
a more complete record of our city's history.
