Are you an independent author? Do you know about legal deposit? Did you know that, upon publication, indie authors are legally required to send a copy of their book to the National Library of Australia and their state or territory library? This obligation covers print books and ebooks. Given a choice, libraries will prefer to receive your deposited book in digital format. The purpose of legal deposit is to ensure our libraries maintain a complete record of Australian publishing and preserve publications for future generations.
