- Abstract
The National Library of Iran (NLI) was founded in 1937. The main goal of this organization is collecting, preserving, organizing and disseminating information about printed and nonprinted works in Iran. This dataset is based on the grey literature available in the National Library of Iran until April 4, 2020. There are 1,120,999 grey literature documents in the National Library of Iran of which 524,162 are digitized. The dataset consists of six questions, the last of which is open-ended and all of which allow for additional comments. The first two questions deal with cataloging. The third question refers to the digitalization of these resources. The following three questions indicate the accessibility to grey literature. In this study, the process of collecting, organizing and disseminating information about these resources in NLI prove to be a successful practical experience. The problems that NLI encountered are also addressed.
