HathiTrust Emergency Temporary Access Service available at Queen's
Post Date:
Jun 5, 2020
The library is pleased to offer the HathiTrust Emergency Temporary Access Service (ETAS) for current faculty, students and staff at Queen’s University. This service is offered due to the unexpected/involuntary, temporary disruption to normal operations.
ETAS provides electronic “read” access via Hathi Trust (HT) to over 860,000 in-copyright items published through 2003 from our print collections, in addition to the 4.4 million worldwide public domain items already accessible in HT. This represents 36.4% of our print collection that is now accessible through ETAS.
ETAS access is through the HathiTrust website and authentication is using a Queen’s netid and password (by clicking on the yellow log in button). For each copy of an item in our collection, one simultaneous checkout is allowed.
Important note: As per the terms of agreement with HT, items available online through ETAS are not eligible for the library’s curbside pick-up service.
Founded in 2008, HathiTrust is a not-for-profit collaborative of academic and research libraries preserving millions digitized items. Queen’s University Library has been a member since 2019.
