Description
Summary:Abstract In view of the draft of the new Law on Legal Deposit, the authoress attempts to answer the dilemma, who should be the depositor for printed publications – the printers or the publishers. She gives practical examples of advantages and disadvantages of the former and the latter, adding also some numerical data. She concludes that the publishers should be set as one of the depositors, inspite of the fact that this increases the number of depositors and thus lessens the possibility of control. In favour of more transparent relations between institutions in the process of the exchange of publications, both the printers and the publishers should be declared as depositors.
