In addition to depositing with the National Library of Australia, you must also deposit your publication with your home state or territory. First, contact your state or regional library for more information. Whenever possible, the library prefers electronic legal deposits. It`s easy, it`s free and it saves time. For more information on National Electronic Filing (NED), visit ned.gov.au. It has been a law in Australia for over 100 years. The forerunner of the National and University Library of Slovenia, the Ljubljana Lyceum Library, was founded around 1774 by a decree of Maria Theresa from the remains of the Jesuit Library and several monastic libraries. The submission of legal deposit copies to the lyceum library was initially prescribed by an Austrian court decree of 1807 only in Carniola, except for a short period of French occupation, where it received copies from all the Illyrian provinces. In 1919 it was renamed the State Reference Library and began collecting legal deposit copies of what was then Slovenia.
In the same year, the University of Ljubljana (the first Slovenian university) was founded and the library also met their needs. In 1921, it began to acquire copies of the legal deposit of the entire Kingdom of Yugoslavia. In 1938, it was renamed the University Library. [69] Digitalna knjižnica Slovenije (Digital Library of Slovenia) is a project of the National and University Library of Slovenia. With NED, e-filing has become very simple and straightforward. Copies of files deposited in the NED by South Australian publishers may be securely transferred to the State Library of South Australia in accordance with the Libraries Act 1982 and the NED Terms of Use. Legal deposit is a legal provision that legally obliges publishers – commercial publishers, individuals, associations, churches, associations, societies and organisations – to deposit copies of their publications with the National Library of Australia and the State or Territory Library of the region of publication. In France, legal deposit was introduced by the Montpellier Ordinance of 1537, according to which a copy of a published book was to be handed over to the King`s Library for preservation. In the centuries that followed, forced delivery was sometimes used to facilitate censorship, and so the requirement was briefly lifted during the French Revolution, arguing that it violated freedom of expression. The main repository is the National Library of France. Legal deposit is extremely developed and concerns not only printed documents, but also multimedia archives and even some websites. In Germany, since 1913, publishers bound by a contract with the Börsenverein des Deutschen Buchhandels were obliged to send a so-called legal deposit copy of each book printed and available to the Deutsche Bücherei in Leipzig.
After World War II, Deutsche Bücherei continued to operate in East Germany, while Deutsche Bibliothek was founded in Frankfurt am Main. Forced delivery continued to be strictly prescribed by private law, organised by the Börsenverein and German booksellers. Since 1969, the German Library Act of 31 March 1969, Federal Law Gazette I p. 265)[34] required that two copies of each printed publication and certain non-printed publications be sent to the German National Library in Frankfurt am Main or Leipzig (depending on the location of the publisher). The law was replaced by the German National Library Act in 2006, when the Deutsche Nationalbibilothek was founded. [35] In addition, each Land requires that one or two copies of works published in that State be deposited in the respective land register. [36] In Finland, the Royal Academy of Turku obtained the right to receive a copy of all works published in Sweden in 1707. After Finland was ceded by Sweden to Russia, this privilege was confirmed in 1809.
In 1820, all Russian printing presses began to send legally deposited copies to Finland. In New South Wales, publishers are also required to deposit their publications with the New South Wales Parliamentary Library, the University of Sydney Library (excluding New South Wales Government Publications) and the University of Western Sydney Library (NSW Government Publications only). The deposit of material through NED`s deposit procedures does not relieve a publisher of the obligation to deposit publications with these libraries. Yes, I think so too. They`ve modernized the digital facilities, and now I think they`re also moving towards e-book deposits. It makes sense when so many self-publishers create nothing but e-books. This requirement did not include a library under the previous regional council (the other Hong Kong City Council) and was not changed as the Hong Kong Central Library was opened and replaced the City Hall Library as the main library for the entire dependent territory. Legal deposit ensures that material published in Australia is preserved for present and future generations. It allows libraries to provide access to a comprehensive collection of the country`s published heritage. The International Federation of Library Associations and Legal Deposit Declaration contains the following advantages of legal deposit: For films, videos and sound recordings, the same requirements apply, except that the National Film, Video and Sound Archives (NFVSA) receives legal deposit instead of the Parliamentary Library and if only one copy is required, it is filed with the NFVSA, not the NLSA. [70] The clerk is required to send a copy to the City Hall library, which was the main library of the previous city council, or to another library authorized by the clerk. [39] Legal deposit was introduced in New Zealand in 1903 and requires copies of all printed materials, offline materials (e.g.
DVDs), Internet publications and websites to be sent to the National Library of New Zealand within 20 working days of publication. This process becomes legal under Part 4 of the National Library of New Zealand Act 2003 (Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa). [65] If more than 100 copies are printed in total, 2 copies must be submitted, otherwise 1. If the price of 1 copy is more than 1,000 NZD, only 1 copy is required. [66] In Colombia, the right to deposit is governed by Law 44 of 1993, Legislative Decree 460 of March 16, 1999, and Decree No. 2150 of 1995. These laws and decrees refer specifically to the National Library of Colombia. Creators of print, audio-visual and video productions must make available to the Library a certain number of copies of the works, whether made in Colombian territory or imported.
