Why not?<\/p>\n A: Access is restricted to current students, faculty, and staff. Your HawkID may still be valid, even if you are not a current student, faculty, or staff member (e.g., guests, alumni, and former employees).

What will HathiTrust know about me?<\/p>\n A: HathiTrust\u2019s privacy policy, available at www.hathitrust.org\/privacy<\/a>, is consistent with the University\u2019s own library privacy policy.

It is your decision whether or not to use the service. Using this service is akin to informing a professor that you are eligible for a classroom accommodation.

Select \u201cRequest Delivery\u201d and choose \u201cDelivery Print Disability\u201d as the pickup location.<\/p>\n Q: What if I need a book that\u2019s already in HathiTrust but not held by our library?<\/p>\n A: You may request digital delivery through interlibrary loan. When you create your user account for interlibrary loan and article delivery, select \u201cDelivery for Print Disability\u201d as your pickup location.<\/p>\n Q: If someone else needs to access this on my behalf, can I just share my username and password?<\/p>\n A: No. If someone in a support role needs to act on your behalf, they must be authorized as a proxy\/delegate. For copyright reasons, anyone in a support role acting on your behalf must fully understand that materials accessed through this means can only be used by persons with a qualifying print disability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" July 2013 Information Through a designated Proxy, Eligible Patrons at HathiTrust Supporting Institutions can receive special access to in-copyright materials in HathiTrust.
