  National library - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In addition to having a law requiring publishers to deposit books, those countries with legal deposits usually have many other incentives for a proper and speedy deposit, such as a tie-in with laws affecting copyright of the same documents, and/or a cataloguing- in- publication service.
One of the main goals of a national library is fulfilling their nation's part of the common international goal of universal bibliographic control, by ensuring the bibliographic control of all the books or book-like documents published in that particular country or talking about that particular country, in any way.
The first part of the goal is usually achieved through the means of legal deposit laws or (as is the case of the United States) by a host of different programs such as a cataloguing in publication service.

 Legal Definition of 'Deposit'
DEPOSIT - Usually defined to be a naked bailment of goods to be kept for the bailor, without reward, and to be returned when he shall require it.
Deposits are again divided by the civil law into simple deposits and sequestrations; the former is when there is but one party depositor (of whatever number composed), having a common interest; the latter is where there are two or more depositors, having each a different and adverse interest.
This species of deposit is also called an improper deposit to distinguish it from one that is regular and proper, and which latter is sometimes called a special deposit.

 Esko Häkli: Reform of the Finnish Legal Deposit Act - Tietolinja News 1/1999
The Finnish Legal Deposit Act of 1980 is one of the few acts in the world that has clearly defined the purpose of legal deposit; similar principles were later also incorporated in the UNESCO guidelines of 1981.
The purpose of legal deposit is, therefore, not primarily to provide a means of acguiring topical material but to ensure that the nation's literary output is preserved as completely as possible; this cannot be arranged by resorting to the use of, for example, a conventional bookshop.
With these changes, the total amount of legal deposit material would be reduced by over one third, which is seen as financially significant from the point of view of both staff and storage costs in the legal deposit libraries.

 U.S. Copyright Office - Mandatory Deposit of Copies (Circular 7d)
Deposit for the collections of the Library of Congress of published works is mandatory under section 407; registration of a copyright claim with accompanying deposit copies is voluntary under section 408.
Under the mandatory deposit provisions of the copyright law, the owner of copyright or of the exclusive right of publication must deposit with the Copyright Office for the Library of Congress two complete copies of the best edition of each issue of a serial published in the United States.
Because many deposits are not suitable for addition to the Library of Congress collections or for use in national library programs, the Copyright Office has issued regulations that exempt certain categories of works entirely from the mandatory deposit requirements.

The former owner remains liable for the security deposit received during ownership, until the new owner delivers to the tenant a signed statement acknowledging that the new owner has received and is responsible for the tenant's security deposit and specifying the dollar amount of the deposit.
