That's really interesting - presumably UK authors being merely "required" means no sanctions ?
And, if no deposit has been made, the 5 libraries miss out on 5 books to lend out....
That's rather sad - the entitlement, which I suppose dates from our national library service early days, does indicate how important the free "lending" library was seen in our society.
Even if it was only 5 copies, it is some kind of support for the institution.
At least "they" would be hard put to justify cutting that in the cause of deficit correction....
