The University of Toronto is now a participant in the HathiTrust Emergency Temporary Access Service (ETAS). This means that during the U of T library closure due to COVID-19, current students and faculty can read digitized versions of more than 2.5 million of the library’s in-copyright print books that have been deposited in the HathiTrust Digital Library.
The Emergency Temporary Access Service enables:
- Students, faculty and staff to log in to HathiTrust and view all books published before 2004 that HathiTrust has verified as being held in U of T Libraries' print collection, even if in copyright.
- Students, faculty and staff to read and search these books online. Single page downloads are available. Books cannot be downloaded in full.
- For each copy of a work in our collection, one simultaneous checkout will be allowed.
The ETAS collection will only be available while our physical libraries are closed.
To access the collection
U of T students, faculty and staff can visit the HathiTrust Digital Library and log in with their UTORid and password.
