Legal deposit is the statutory obligation to deposit at least one copy of every UK publication, free of charge, at the British Library and other designated deposit libraries.This obligation has existed in English law for printed books and papers since 1662 and for electronic and other non-print publications since 6 April 2013.It helps to ensure that the nation's published output — and its intellectual record and published heritage — is collected systematically. This preserves the material for the use of future generations and makes it available for readers within the designatedhe legal deposit system also has benefits for authors and publishers:Deposited publications are made available to users of the deposit libraries on their premises, are preserved for the benefit of future generations, and become part of the nation's heritagePublications are recorded in the online catalogues, and become an essential research resource for generations to comeMost of the books and new serial titles are listed in the British National Bibliography (BNB), which is used by librarians and the book trade for stock selection; the BNB is available on CD-ROM in MARC Exchange formats, and has a world-wide distributionPublishers have at times approached the deposit libraries for copies of their own publications which they no longer have but which have been preserved through legal depositLegal deposit supports a cycle of knowledge, whereby deposited works provide inspiration and source material for new books that will eventually achieve publication.
