The Legal Deposit Shared Cataloguing Programme is a programme to share responsibility for cataloguing the legal deposit
intake of new publications. The six legal deposit libraries are The British
Library, The Bodleian Library, Cambridge University Library, The National
Library of Scotland, The National Library of Wales and The Library of
Trinity College Dublin. The Programme aims to maximise the currency, quality
and coverage of the British National Bibliography (BNB) by sharing the
necessary cataloguing effort associated with the large legal deposit intake.
This benefits the wider bibliographic community by ensuring effective
bibliographic control of ever increasing UK and Irish publishing output.
The legal deposit libraries are each responsible for cataloguing an agreed
allocation of printed books received under legal deposit. The share of
cataloguing responsibility is benchmarked as 70:30 between the British
Library and the five other legal deposit libraries respectively. In a
typical record, the cataloguing source is shown by the library code in
MARC field 040.
