@pchestek Wow. Even #LegalDeposit is under attack. The pettiness of publishers in their anti- #library crusades.

It's a pity because this used to be a nice publisher, reprinting #PublicDomain gay classics.

Interesting one-day Symposium.

"A Celebration of Legal Deposit: The Inspiration of Collecting and Preserving our Nations’ Written Heritage".

The event at St. Bride's Printing library is co-organized by the six UK Legal Deposit Libraries: The British Library, Bodleian Libraries, Cambridge University Library, National Library of Scotland, National Library of Wales, and Trinity College Dublin.

Today we celebrate 10 years of electronic #LegalDeposit!

In 2013, the six Legal Deposit libraries of the UK and Ireland gained the right to receive a copy of every UK electronic publication.

Why? To answer that, we must hop back four centuries 🧵

@bodhipaksa Does the #legalDeposit requirement (to hand over one copy of every publication to the national library) in the US also cover newspapers and magazines (as is the case in many countries)? It's of course an effort to walk up to your national library, but a reliable last resort if you really depend on it.

Publishers can decide to deposit the required book in the British Library as an e-book only, and they may add conditions, for example: readers must read the e-book in the library, on site. Details of e-books may not be the same as the hard copy versions - pagination, for example, may be displayed differently ...
