I asked a question about the copyright Bill. I know we are not discussing it, but we are discussing the future storage of digital information. There is no scope in the 2016 Bill to enable the National Library to collect digital material in any meaningful way. The suggestion is that it would be possible to scope and capture the entire .iedomain because most websites just disappear after a short period of time. Year by year we are losing information and potential for researchers down the line. It would be great to have that amendment to the copyright Bill, as proposed by the National Library. I would like the Department to introduce it - we could do it also.
