Hathi Trust Digital Library

Hathi Trust Digital Library

HathiTrust is a collaboration between academic libraries and other parties to provide storage and access for their digital collections.

In order to locate the books that are availabe in their entirety you must choose advanced catalog search or advanced full-text search.  Once you have selected your search method, make sure to check the "Full View only" box as demonstrated below.

Many Hathi Trust items have records in the OhioLINK catalog, providing an alternate way to access these items.

The Online Books Page

The Online Books Page

This site allows searching and browsing through many e-book collections scattered across the web.  It is created and maintained by a University of Pennsylvania librarian.

Searching the entire collection is possible, but the speciality index provides access to many focused collections related to a particular topic or discipline. You can also limit your search to "See also what's available at your library." There's a link to the OPAL consortium, which includes Walsh.

Audiobooks

In addition to our collection of audiobooks at Walsh, check out some of these other fabulous (and free) options that allow you to download to the device of your choice.
