Cataloguing-in-Publication (CiP)
CiP is a free service we offer to New Zealand publishers. We catalogue books before they are published. The aim is to increase pre-publication orders.

Submit internet publications for Legal Deposit
Internet publications can be submitted by:
- Using the Web Deposit Tool
- Emailing a copy of a publication that is posted on a website to electronic-legal-deposit@natlib.govt.nz
- Telling us when you post a new or revised publication by emailing electronic-legal-deposit@natlib.govt.nz
- Adding electronic-legal-deposit@natlib.govt.nz to electronic mailing lists for newsletters and other publications published and distributed electronically.
Since 2006 publishers wishing to submit internet publications for Legal Deposit have been able to use the IELD online submission tool. This tool was retired in October 2008. It is currently being upgraded into the National Digital Heritage Archive's Web Deposit Tool, which will be available from mid November.
