Collaborative digital library with 17 million digitized items from research libraries worldwide, including millions of public-domain books with full-text search.

Why it is useful

HathiTrust holds one of the world's largest digitized book collections. For pre-1928 books, full text is freely readable without login, and the search indexes every page — making it far more powerful than a catalog search.
