Choose the word for each blank.

Legal deposit for printed books and papers has existed in English law since 1662. It helps to ensure that the nation’s published output (and thereby its 1 record and future published heritage) is collected systematically, to 2 the material for the use of future generations and to make it available for 3 within the designated legal deposit libraries. The legal deposit system also has 4 for authors and publishers: Deposited publications are made available to users of the deposit libraries on their premises, are preserved for the benefit of future generations, and become part of the nation’s heritage. Publications are 5 in the online catalogues, and become an essential 6 resource for generations to come.
