Deposit copy regulations at the HLB RheinMain

Publishers in our region and other defined districts, as well as authors and editors who self-publish their writings within or outside the book trade (e.g. associations, public and private institutions), are obliged to submit one copy of each of their publications to the library free of charge within one month and at their own expense. This includes books, maps, grades, calendars with explanatory texts, magazines and newspapers in printed and/or electronic form, as well as media works in image and sound (e.g. CDs, DVDs). New editions or reprints must also be handed in.
