William Overington Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Some readers might like to know that items published by a person living in the United Kingdom and/or published in the United Kingdom are collected by The British Library. https://www.bl.uk/legal-deposit https://www.bl.uk/help/how-to-deposit-your-digital-publications Five matters arising when sending in items as email attachments. 1. State that the items are for legal deposit. 2. Do not include a web address as such in the email itself because their spam filter will wipe the email and as far as I am aware will inform no one of this wiping. If you want to include an email address, such as the thread in this forum where the item is published use a combination of text and the symbols spelled out, such as forum dot affinity dot serif dot com solidus index dot php question_mark solidus topic solidus 85230-portrait-of-a-lady solidus and not https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/85230-portrait-of-a-lady/ Maybe safest not to put the https in just in case the spam detector acts on that. 3. They will send you an email receipt IF (and possibly ONLY IF) you request one when sending the email. I always include A receipt is requested please. as a separate paragraph near the start of the email. 4. I always list the file names and the titles of the files. This may not be essential but may be helpful for the archiving process. 5. There is no assessment of merit involved. The idea is to gather an as far as possible complete record of what is produced, not to pick and choose.
