4.1 Legal Deposit
The Libraries Act 1984 requires a copy of everything published in Tasmania to be deposited in the State Library. This is a requirement in all Australian jurisdictions and the broad term ‘legal deposit’ is used. Publications include any book, eBook, website, newspapers, maps and plans, sheet music, sound or video recordings, or anything else whereby words, sounds, or images are reproduced. Further information on Legal Deposit in Tasmania is available on the Libraries Tasmania website.
