The Emory Libraries\u2019 membership in HathiTrust, an international digital repository is enabling online access to our print collections. Under their Emergency Temporary Access Service, HathiTrust will allow unprecedented access to digital content preserved by the shared repository.<\/p>\n

In addition to Emory Libraries\u2019 robust electronic collections, our partnership with HathiTrust will now enable faculty, staff, and students to electronic<\/strong>\u00a0access <\/strong>over 1 million<\/strong> books for which <\/strong>Emory<\/strong> Libraries owns <\/strong>only <\/strong>a print version<\/strong>. Thereby offering a temporary solution for items in copyright currently in our Stacks. \u200b<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here’s how it works:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Emory University user <\/strong>logs in to HathiTrust<\/a>. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Users will be able to read the book online, in the web browser, but will not be able to download the work in full. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Users will \u201ccheck out\u201d a copy for a limited period of time and can renew the checkout or return the book.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For public domain books, typically 1924 and earlier, the user must also log in and can then download the entire book because the book is no longer protected by copyright.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n
