Resources for Librarians
With all the HathiTrust services available to your library and academic community, you may be looking for more information on how best to integrate HathiTrust into your own environment or set up regular data streams to enhance your own library. We also work closely with specific contacts at our member libraries to ingest new content, maintain the collection, connect on shared print plans, or work together on other regular activities.
The resources below are designed to support you and your work with HathiTrust and connect you with the information you need to maximize your membership.
