Deposit in national and state libraries
If you publish in Australia you are legally required to deposit a copy of your publication with the National Library of Australia.
When publishing in Queensland you are also required to deposit a copy of your publication with both the State Library of Queensland and the Queensland Parliamentary Library.
When publishing with a journal or another publisher they will arrange for the legal deposit of the publication on behalf of the author. If you request a DOI , ISBN or ISSN it is your responsibility to legally deposit your publication.
What is a published work?
A work is deemed to have been 'published' if reproductions of the work or edition have been made available (whether by sale or otherwise) to the public. Electronic publications and recordings are included in legal deposit.
