Abstract

The most important and true function of deposition practices making a contribution to knowledge sharing at uppermost level is to make it possible to present philosophy and art productions of the country by depositing to the advantage of the researches of present and future generation. But, deposition practices dated back ancient times don’t include electronic publication types occurred by the development of information technology. However, in our present day, most of the philosophy and art productions are produced and used in electronic medium. It is necessary to include electronic publications in legal deposit and to deposit in a legal dimension in order to ensure registered cultural productions to be deposited completely. Because electronic publications have differences in comparison to printed ones, it is impossible for electronic publications to be deposited by antedated legal deposits. These differences cause methods and techniques different from printed ones to be used for electronic publications at the ranks of acquisition, preservation and serving that form the process of deposition. Electronic publications are evaluated in two categories as online and offline. Because offline electronic publications have physical transporters, they resemble to printed ones. However, online publications’ being different regarding their structural features make it difficult for them to be included in deposition process of online publications. The countries considering online publications as a part of cultural existence start leading project enterprises for the deposition of online publications in order to see the problems that will be come across in the deposition of electronic publications and responsible units clearly. When these developments have being occurred in the deposition of electronic publications at international level, deposition practices cannot be performed sufficiently in our country. The reason for this is to try to perform legal deposit providing only printed publications dated in 1934 to be deposited. However, all the online and offline electronic publications as well as printed publications form a part of cultural existence belonging to our country. Consequently, it is necessary to take measures in this sense without allowing waste of much more time.
