The University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at M\u0101noa<\/a> has become the newest member of HathiTrust<\/a>, a partnership of major academic and research libraries. The collaborative membership agreement enhances UH<\/abbr>‘s digital library content on all islands.<\/p>\n

Launched in 2008, HathiTrust has a growing membership currently comprising more than 120 partners.<\/p>\n

“This partnership has been on the library’s agenda for several years, but only recently prioritized,” said Monica Ghosh<\/strong><\/a>, interim university librarian. “Now UH<\/abbr> faculty and students throughout the state can access material electronically that previously required in-person library visits.”<\/p>\n

UH<\/abbr> will benefit from the HathiTrust partnership in two ways. First, as a trusted repository, the partnership guarantees the long-term preservation of the materials it holds, providing the expert curation and consistent access that has long been associated with research libraries. Second, as a service for its partners and the public good, HathiTrust offers access to digital collections, including viewing, downloading and searching capability to public domain volumes.<\/p>\n

Over the past nine years, HathiTrust members have contributed more than 16 million volumes to the digital library, digitized from library connections through a number of means including Google and Internet Archive digitization and in-house initiatives. More than 6 million of the contributed volumes are in the public domain and freely available on the web.<\/p>\n

The UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa library<\/a> provides the most comprehensive collection of information and research materials in the state with over 3.2 million volumes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
