    Why legal deposition?

    On 1 January 2015, a new law on legal deposition of electronic material was passed. The law means that certain files that are published on www.umu.se shall be submitted to the National Library of Sweden to be filed and to be made searchable. This covers PDFs, Word and PowerPoint documents aimed at the general public.
