Liebe Frau Fischer,

vielen Dank - ich hatte es natürlich auch schon begierig in INETBIB
aufgesammelt und dem Herrn D. informiert, so dass wir es auf der
Präsentation in Köln schon angebracht haben.

Gruß FR-J

> > 1. What is legal deposit? The 1911 Act requires publishers to deposit
with

> Ireland within one month of publication. The five other legal deposit

months
> of publication. (The Copyright Libraries Agency acts on behalf of the five

legal

and

> Library, Oxford; and Trinity College Library, Dublin) maintain a
world-class

legal

> items (e.g. DVDs, CD-ROMs, electronic journals and other items delivered
via

of

> Ltd., October 2002) forecasts that the number of electronic journal issues
> published in the UK will grow from 52,000 in 2002 to 193,000 in 2005. A
> recent phenomenon has been the emergence of single-article journal issues
> transmitted by e-mail - with an average of 40 issues for each title per
> year. Many publications, such as newspapers are being published in
multiple
> formats - print, web, CD-ROM and microform - but do not always have
> identical content. Similarly, there are a growing number of hybrid
> publications, such as print journals with added material available on the
> web or CD-ROM. The new Act will help the legal deposit libraries to
collect
> and organise this knowledge.
> >
> > 5. What non-print materials will now be saved? The major categories of
> non-print materials include:
> > - Publications accessed over the Internet, e.g. electronic journals.
> > - Websites - a limited and well-defined range of sites, judged to be
> research-level, will be regularly harvested for addition to the national
> archive.
> > - Publications on media other than paper, such as microfilm or fiche.
> > - 'Hand-held' electronic publications on media such as CD-ROM or DVD.
> >
> > The types of material include:
> > Records of key events of national life - e.g. national and local
websites
> covering general elections, the millennium celebrations, the Queen's
Golden
> Jubilee and the Commonwealth Games - all containing useful historical
data.
> > Resource discovery tools, to help researchers locate materials e.g. the
> Applied Social Sciences Index and Abstracts (ASSIA) or Legal Journals
Index.
> > Major directories - e.g. the Europe Info directory on DVD, an important
> resource with 130 million European residential and business listings, or
> Kelly's Portsmouth Directory on CD-ROM.
> > Current awareness services - e.g. Oxford Economic Forecasting's Weekly
> Brief - an electronic journal available only as a PDF or Zip/EXE file,
> typically distributed as an email attachment.
> > News sources - such as web editions of national and local newspapers, or
> the web-published results of public opinion polls from companies such as
> MORI, ICM or YouGov.
> > Professional 'bibles' - e.g. The Cochrane Library, 'the best single
source
> of reliable evidence about the effects of health care' (on CD-ROM and the
> web with no hard copy equivalent).
> > Important local and national government documents - e.g. the Home Office
> series of 'online only' research reports and web-based Government
> consultation papers, which are an important resource for lawyers and
> researchers in tracing the origin of legislation, and the minutes of the
> National Assembly for Wales.
> > e-journals - e.g. Sociological Research Online and the Journal of
Digital
> Information, available only on the web.
> > Conference proceedings - e.g. 9/11 and the Middle East: Electronic
> Resource published by the Royal Institute of International Affairs.
