hathitrust digital library app

HathiTrust Digital Library is a large-scale collaborative repository containing millions of digitized books, journals, government documents and other materials from research libraries worldwide. It was founded in 2008 to preserve and provide access to digitized content from libraries.

You can access HathiTrust through their website on any mobile phone, tablet or device. While anyone can search and view public domain materials, full access requires logging in through a partner institution (usually a university library). Individual memberships are not available.

Access depends on copyright status and your affiliation. Public domain works are fully accessible to all users. Copyright-protected materials have limited search-only access unless you're affiliated with a member institution. Users from member libraries who are print disabled can request access to any title, including copyrighted items.

Yes, but download capabilities vary. Public domain works can be downloaded by anyone. For copyright-protected materials, affiliated users from member institutions may be able to download them when logged in. Some materials are search-only with no download option due to copyright restrictions.

You can report issues or get help by clicking the 'Feedback' link on the top or bottom of the HathiTrust website, or by emailing [email protected]. The HathiTrust User Support Working Group handles user inquiries and error reports.

HathiTrust offers full-text searching, personal collections creation, computational analysis tools through the HathiTrust Research Center, and special accessibility features for print-disabled users. It also provides various data formats and datasets for researchers and librarians.
