Our white paper, published in 2019, reports on the findings of the Digital Library Futures project (2017-2019), which investigates the impact of Non-Print Legal Deposit (NPLD) on academic legal deposit libraries and their users in the United Kingdom. This white paper provides the first research into this topic, and represents a benchmark study which holds relevance for other nations dealing with the implementation of e-legal deposit. It argues that discussions of NPLD have paid too little attention to user behaviour and requirements, and that it is necessary to adopt an ongoing user-focused evaluation framework to inform NPLD planning and implementation.
