CDL is pleased to announce access to selected HathiTrust books via UC-eLinks. HathiTrust books free of copyright restrictions, contributed by both UC and other HathiTrust partners, are now available via a link in the UC-eLinks menu window.
The links appear when a user comes across a record in FirstSearch WorldCat and worldcat.org and possibly in databases such as Chadwyck-Healey where older books are linked. (Note that there can be both HathiTrust and Google Book Search links in the same UC-eLinks menu window, which you’ll see in a couple of the examples below.) They will not appear in the NGM Pilot (WCL) because UC-eLinks is not activated for there for monographs.
Users will rarely come upon the UC-eLinks windows for these materials since, compared to our total collections, there are currently relatively few items; however, we are pleased to surface UC’s HathiTrust materials in yet another way. See below for examples:
This service has been implemented thanks to Margery Tibbetts, CDL Discovery & Delivery Services SFX Technical Lead.
