Visit FSU's HathiTrust Digital Library LibGuide for additional information on HathiTrust.
The original version and idea for this LibGuide was first created and published by University of Florida Libraries and can be found on their website here. Some edits and photos were changed in this guide to assist FSU Libraries patrons specifically.
A - Titles held in print by FSU or any other State University System of Florida institution that are also held digitally in HathiTrust.
A - HathiTrust titles that are out of copyright can be downloaded. ETAS titles still have copyright restrictions and are only available for online viewing.
A - Simultaneous-user access is based on the number of print copies held within the State University System of Florida. For example, if UF owns 2 copies and FSU owns 1 copy, then 3 users across the State University System may simultaneously access the titles. For this reason HathiTrust ETAS titles are not appropriate for course reserves use.
A - Only available to current faculty, staff and students (retirees, alumni and courtesy patrons not eligible).
A - Items available through the Emergency Temporary Access Service can be checked out for 1 hour. If you are still actively looking at the book and no one else is attempting to check it out, the book will be renewed automatically.
A - Because digital access is provided on a 1-to-1 basis with print copies held within the State University System, simultaneous-user access is somewhat limited. Keep checking back (reloading the page) to see if the title has become available.
A - No, print copies of ETAS titles are not available for circulation.
A - Some titles are limited to search only within HathiTrust due to copyright restrictions. When choosing the ETAS link within our catalog, you will be directed to a HathiTrust webpage where a message will indicate that material is "not available online." HathiTrust vets new content for copyright restrictions, and they do have a backlog. If you suspect an item should be free of copyright restrictions, please send a message to lib-erm@fsu.edu and we will ask them to investigate.
