Introducing the UC Libraries HathiTrust Help Center

CDL’s Digitization team is pleased to announce the launch of the UC Libraries HathiTrust Help Center, designed for UC libraries staff who participate in, contribute to, and/or use the HathiTrust Digital Library. 

The new Help Center will allow users to:

  • Learn about HathiTrust and UC’s participation and contributions to HathiTrust
  • Keep up with new developments and events at HathiTrust
  • Find documentation for current UC HathiTrust projects
  • Send a UC-HathiTrust-related request, question, or suggestion to CDL’s Digitization team via our new ticketing system
  • Learn about ways to get involved with HathiTrust
  • Connect with other UC staff working on and/or using HathiTrust
  •  

The UC HathiTrust Help Center is launching with the following articles:

Two quick “How-to” pieces, How to Copy and Paste Text from a HathiTrust Volume and How to find a HathiTrust Volume in Google Books, are also available. 

As we continue to build out the Help Center, we would appreciate your feedback and ideas. What information would you like to find here? What would help you make better use of HathiTrust and/or help you support students and researchers in using HathiTrust?  Please take a look around, and send us a ticket with your comments, feedback, or suggestions.
