Legal Deposit
In Australia, legal deposit legislation exists at the national and state levels to support the provision of access to Australian research, heritage and culture. In New South Wales, legal deposit is required under the New South Wales Copyright Act 1879-1952, ss 5-7. The State Library of New South Wales, along with New South Wales Parliamentary Library and University of Sydney Library are entitled to “receive a copy of every book first published in New South Wales within two months of publication. 'Book' is defined in the Act as any book, newspaper, pamphlet, leaflet, music, map, chart or plan separately published and 'bound', sewed or stitched together'.”
