Online Collections will contain digitised objects and electronic documents. The e-Depot is one of these collections and is the only collection which is actually accessible to the public.

What is in the e-Depot?

The e-Depot has been created because the Royal Library of Belgium, as a national library, has the obligation to store, make available and preserve electronic publications; the e-Depot includes Belgian publications (monographs, periodicals, …) from commercial publishers, associations, public administrations, universities, individuals… Publications of international organisations are also stored..

The search module of the e-Depot gives access to the bibliographical descriptions. The electronic documents can be consulted only at the Royal Library. Registered users (see “How to register”) can store search results in a save list.
