Meaning of National Library material
195CE Meaning of National Library material
A literary, dramatic, musical or artistic work, or an edition of such a work, (whether in an electronic form or otherwise) is National Library material if:
the work or edition is:
a website, web page, web file, book, periodical, newspaper, pamphlet, sheet of music, map, plan, chart or table; or
prescribed by the National Library Minister for the purposes of this subparagraph; and
copyright subsists in the work or edition under this Act; and
the work or edition is not primarily audio‑visual; and
in the case of an edition:
the edition contains additions or alterations in the text or other reading matter, illustrations, drawings, engravings, photographs or audio‑visual elements; and
the content of at least one of those additions or alterations was not contained in any earlier edition; and
the work or edition is not prescribed by the National Library Minister for the purposes of this paragraph.
The same work in hardcopy form and an electronic form is the same National Library material.
