Retrieving grey literature with content curation: A repertoire of institutional resources on covid-19

Italian Government and Ministries, Health Institutes, Regions and Local Authorities have recently produced numerous documents on Covid-19: scientific bulletins, statistics, laws, protocols, regulatory measures, reports, guidelines. However, as long as it's easy to come across unofficial or false information on the web, the retrieval of reliable documents becomes strictly recommended and even essential, especially when a pandemic is underway. In this regard, librarians own the appropriate professional skills to guide users towards the retrieval of official documents and, thanks to the so-called Content Curation activity, they can select, organize and share web resources through specific digital tools and web platforms. In this background, with the aim of facilitating the retrieval of a specific type of grey literature, such as official documents on topics related to the pandemic, it was realized the “Digital Repertoire of institutional Italian web resources on Covid-19” by the “Library of the National Register of Town Clerks” using the content curation system "Wakelet".
