Regulation 30 Adapting relevant material for the purposes of preservation
A deposit library may adapt relevant material if the adaptation is made in any of the circumstances falling within paragraph (2).
The circumstances are that the adaptation is made (whether from the relevant material itself or from a copy made by the deposit library by virtue of regulation 29) for the following purposes—
to preserve or replace the relevant material by placing the adaptation in the permanent collection in addition to or in place of the relevant material;
to replace the relevant material in the permanent collection of another deposit library if that relevant material has been lost, destroyed or damaged.
An adaptation may be made by virtue of this regulation in a different medium or format from the relevant material if the deposit library considers the change is necessary or expedient for the purpose for which the adaptation is made.
Paragraph (1) does not apply if database right subsists in the relevant material.
