Welcome to the New UC Libraries HathiTrust Help Center!

Welcome to the new UC Libraries HathiTrust Help Center for UC libraries staff who participate in, contribute to, and/or use the HathiTrust Digital Library. Within this Help Center you can:

• Learn about HathiTrust and UC’s participation and contributions to HathiTrust

• Connect with other UC staff working on and/or using HathiTrust

Our initial Help Center articles include:

• a short history of UC’s relationship with HathiTrust;
• a series on potential paths to opening content in HathiTrust;
• a series on the differences between HathiTrust, Google Books, and Internet Archive based on where UC’s digitized volumes are available; 
• a Summary of UC’s use of ETAS (HathiTrust’s Emergency Temporary Access Service);
• and an overview of CDL's role in HathiTrust. 

Also available are Two quick “How-to” pieces: How to Copy and Paste Text from a HathiTrust Volume, and How to find a HathiTrust Volume in Google Books. 

As we continue to build out the Help Center, we would love to get your feedback and ideas. What information would you like to find here? What would help you make better use of HathiTrust and/or help you support students and researchers in using HathiTrust?  Please take a look around, and send us a ticket with your comments, feedback, or suggestions.
