Locating materials

Once you're logged into Hathi Trust:

If you know what you're looking for, do a "catalog search" to find what you need. The Advanced Catalog Search is the fastest way to locate known titles (as opposed to just trying to discover new works). If you need pointers for discovering materials in HathiTrust, take a look at our page on Searching.

Reading online

"Full view" access allows you to read the book online, or download books in the public domain. Download options are displayed along the lefthand column. You can choose to download individual pages or the entire book as a PDF, EPUB format, or in text formats, or as page images.
