HathiTrust Access for Users with Print Disabilities

Students, faculty and staff affiliated with a UC campus who have a print disability may be eligible to receive special lawful access to the entire HathiTrust collection, even those volumes restricted for general use. To receive access a user must meet eligibility criteria. Access is available by contacting a designated proxy (a representative designated by a HathiTrust supporting institution who accesses in-copyright content on behalf of an eligible patron). Each UC campus must designate and register a proxy through which eligible users may gain access.

The following are links to disability resources or services for UC campus libraries. Contact your campus library at one of the links below for more information.
