“The Emergency Temporary Access Service permits special access for HathiTrust member libraries located in the U.S. that suffer an unexpected or involuntary, temporary disruption to normal operations, such as closure for a public health emergency, requiring the library to be closed to its patrons, or otherwise restrict print collection access services. “The service makes it possible for member library patrons to obtain lawful access to specific digital materials in HathiTrust that correspond to physical books held by their own library. The Emergency Temporary Access Service will enable many HathiTrust member libraries to continue supporting the teaching, learning, and research mission of their institutions during said disruption in service.” |
The University of Kentucky joined HathiTrust as a member institution in November 2018. Membership traditionally includes access to digitized items which are no longer held in copyright, but with the closure of UK Libraries due to COVID-19, the Emergency Temporary Access Service has been activated.
