出版品是保存人類文明重要的工具，國家圖書館則肩負著典藏國家文化的重要角色，為了能完整典藏國家文獻與知識，強制出版商提供其出版品予國家圖書館或機構進行典藏，為出版品送存制度的初衷。然而資訊科技與網際網路發展，出版品載體形式轉變，從過去的紙本書籍轉變成數位出版品，過去所制定的送存制度並未規劃數位出版品送存後完善的流通方式，導致數位出版品送存數量裹足不前，國內出版商對此也半信半疑，有鑑於此，本研究擬從送存制度發展趨勢著手，分析國外數位出版品送存制度的規範及在圖書館中合理使用情況，藉以提供國內數位出版品送存制度改善之參考，期能有更完善的送存制度，並能提升數位出版品的送存，讓國家文獻可以完整典藏。 Legal deposit is an important way to archive document and knowledge of a nation.
