Legal deposit libraries, the national and academic institutions who
systematically preserve our written cultural record, have recently
been mandated with expanding their collection practices to include
digitised and born-digital materials. The regulations that govern
electronic legal deposit often also prescribe how these materials
can be accessed. Although a growing international activity, there
has been little consideration of the impact of e-legal deposit on
the 21st Century library, or on its present or future users. This
edited collection is a timely opportunity to bring together
international authorities who are placed to explore the social,
institutional and user impacts of e-legal deposit. It uniquely
provides a thorough overview of this worldwide issue at an
important juncture in the history of library collections in our
changing information landscape, drawing on evidence gathered from
real-world case studies produced in collaboration with leading
libraries, researchers and practitioners (Biblioteca Nacional de
México, Bodleian Libraries, British Library, National Archives of
Zimbabwe, National Library of Scotland, National Library of
Sweden). Chapters consider the viewpoint of a variety of
stakeholders, including library users, researchers, and publishers,
and provide overviews of the complex digital preservation and
access issues that surround e-legal deposit materials, such as web
archives and interactive media. The book will be essential reading
for practitioners and researchers in national and research
libraries, those developing digital library infrastructures, and
potential users of these collections, but also those interested in
the long-term implications of how our digital collections are
conceived, regulated and used. Electronic legal deposit is shaping
our digital library collections, but also their future use, and
this volume provides a rigorous account of its implementation and
impact.
