Abstract

The legal deposit is a comprehensive and systemic method for acquiring a country's publications. This study aims to compare laws and regulations about legal deposit among several countries that have different histories and traditions and to supplement laws and regulations of Korea's legal deposit. To do this, research papers and laws, regulations, guides, web sites and online systems about legal deposit of eight countries including USA, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, France, Japan, Singapore, and Korea were reviewed. This study tried to compare and analyse several categories including publications to be deposited or not deposited, requirements, due dates, expenses, and numbers of copies for deposit, and penalty for noncompliance with legal deposit. Also, online publications to be deposited or not deposited, requirements and methods for deposit were compared and analysed. At last, some suggestions were also made for improvement in laws and regulations of <Library Law> in Korea.
