Under the act, five other libraries, including the National Library of Scotland, are entitled to receive, on request, one free copy of any book or any other printed publication published in the UK.We wish to modernise legislation to extend the provisions of legal deposit to cover material that has emerged in recent years in media other than print—in particular, electronic and online material. That would cover internet publications, e-journals, CD-ROMs and microforms, thereby ensuring that all significant publications are collected regardless of the medium in which they are initially published.
