The aim of legal deposit is to ensure that the intellectual record and published heritage of the nation is collected and preserved as an archive for research purposes and the use of future generations. Sometimes this material is referred to as Copyright.
UCC Library, in accordance with the terms of Section 198 of the Copyright and Related Rights Act, 2000, is a legal deposit library, and as such is entitled to receive a copy of any material first published in the State.
