HathiTrust Digital Library

HathiTrust offers a collection of millions of titles digitized from research libraries around the world.

HathiTrust Accessible Text Request Service

The WashU Libraries participate in HathiTrust’s Accessible Text Request Service. This service provides special access to copyrighted materials in HathiTrust to WashU students, faculty, and staff who have registered with Disability Resources or Human Resources as a person with a print disability. This may be a visual impairment, learning disability, physical disability, or other disability that impedes a person's ability to read or access printed works.

To request full digital copies of copyrighted works in HathiTrust that display as “Limited (search-only)” please email the Libraries accessibility team at LibrariesAccessibility@wustl.edu and include links to the books you wish to access.

“Limited (search-only)” titles can be identified in HathiTrust by searching “All Items” under “Item Viewability.” When a request is received, the Libraries accessibility team will contact Disability Resources or Employee Relations to confirm eligibility.  

HathiTrust search results with left-side filtering options and a Limited (search-only) button highlighted.
