At the beginning of the COVID pandemic, the digital library HathiTrust created an Emergency Temporary Access Service (ETAS) to provide books electronically while print books were unavailable. ETAS covered approximately 40% of the print titles held at University of Utah libraries and made them accessible to faculty, staff and students in a digital format. As we resume full access to the libraries’ print collections on July 6, the  ETAS agreement will end and patrons will return to accessing print collection in the usual ways by browsing the stacks or submitting a pull service or delivery request.

Copyrighted items will still be available for full-text search in the HathiTrust Digital Library. Patrons may continue to access the full text HathiTrust materials in the public domain or available through Creative Commons licensing. These titles are marked “Full view” in the HathiTrust online catalog. Because the University of Utah is a HathiTrust member, patrons may log in to HathiTrust using your uNID/password and download full PDFs of those items.
