What is legal deposit?

Have you, or someone you know, published a book? Been involved in publishing a journal or music? We may have copies of it, or we may not – and if not, we would be glad to receive copies to preserve. 

Want to know more? You can read more about legal deposit on the Library’s website or e-mail the legal deposit staff – skylduskil (at) landsbokasafn.is.  

The Library has published a bookmark to serve as a reminder of legal deposit. Note too that the books programme Kiljan on RÚV, on Wednesday 1 October, will include an interview with Kristjana Jónsdóttir Hjörvar about material subject to legal deposit.
