KUCHING: The State Library ‘Sarawak’s Authors Highlight Programme’ 
received an overwhelming response of more than 60 writers, students, and
 school teachers attending its seminar on ‘Pemikiran Jais Sahok’.
The
 two-day seminar featured Jais Sahok, a local writer who shared his 
knowledge and creative thinking skills in the literature world.
He
 also talked about the importance of depositing copies of publications 
of publishers and authors in libraries to preserve the nation’s literary
 heritage and make them available to present and future generations.
The
 seminar also included a ‘Legal Deposit of Publications’ programme to 
create an awareness on legal deposit which is a statutory provision that
 obliges publishers to deposit copies of their publications in libraries
 in the country in which they are published.
Section 15(1) of the 
Sarawak State Library Ordinance 1999 requires the author or publisher of
 every printed library resource published in Sarawak to deposit five 
copies of print and two copies of non-print publication.
Printed 
publication include books, serials, maps, charts and posters, while 
non-print publication include cinematograph films, microfilms, 
phonorecords, video and audio recordings and other electronic media.
