The Legal Deposit Libraries Act 2003 [UK], enacted at the end of October, will change this. This legislation will ensure that millions of web pages, online magazines and CDs will be saved for the public. The legislation will effectively preserve the nation’s online heritage.
A series of regulations proposed by the Secretary of State, for affirmative resolution by both Houses of Parliament, will implement the change in law. This will preserve major categories of non-print material such as electronic journals, websites, microfilm or fiche publications, CD-ROMs and DVDs.
